Summary
Davide Cuda is a Staff Site Reliability Engineer at Google with a decade of industry experience and a deep academic background, holding a summa cum laude Master’s and a PhD from Politecnico di Torino focused on resource allocation and high-capacity network architectures. He bridges cutting-edge research and production systems, having designed scheduling algorithms, energy-efficient backbone strategies and large-scale switching fabrics before transitioning to embedded and network-software engineering at Cisco and then SRE work at Google. Davide has a track record of leading European research units and contributing to FP6/FP7 projects, bringing rigorous modelling and simulator development (tens of thousands of C/C++ and Matlab lines) to real-world network and datacenter problems. Fluent in both low-level embedded C and higher-level network control paradigms (OpenFlow, OnePK, Opendaylight), he’s as comfortable optimizing firmware as he is proposing SDN-driven architectures. Based in Zurich, he combines academic rigor with practical delivery, often turning theoretical scheduling insights into production-grade, high-capacity systems.
