Diego Parrilla is a versatile software engineer and entrepreneur with 14 years of experience building cloud, security, and developer-facing products from idea to market. He founded Apility.io (acquired by Auth0) and ThreatJammer, led Azure developer advocacy for Microsoft Spain, and has repeatedly launched and scaled OpenStack-based cloud businesses. Currently a passionate retro-hardware builder in Madrid, he revitalizes vintage computers with SidecarTridge coprocessor boards that add modern features while preserving original experiences. Comfortable switching between hands-on engineering, product strategy, and team leadership, he has built departments, set architectural baselines, and recruited high-performing teams across multiple startups and enterprises. A longtime OpenStack contributor and former academic lecturer in software engineering, he blends deep technical craftsmanship with entrepreneurial grit. Outside work he brings an unconventional creative streak—riffing between rocker/raver ethos and meticulous engineering—that surfaces in both security tooling and retro hardware projects.
