Summary
Edoardo De Cal is an AI researcher and product-focused engineer blending data science, climate tech, and full-stack development across a decade of hands-on experience. He co-founded WOP, a satellite-data platform that improved irrigation across 1,000 hectares and drew attention at UN events including COP28, and previously built Fontanelle d’Acqua, a full-stack app with 100k+ users to reduce plastic bottle use. Comfortable shipping TypeScript/React web apps and Python-based geospatial pipelines, he pairs technical execution with product strategy and measurable impact (up to 40% productivity gains and 35% retention increases). A three-time Apple WWDC Scholar and former iOS coach, he combines international hackathon pedigree and mentorship experience with academic training in management engineering and ongoing MSc studies in Data Science at KTH. Pragmatic and mission-driven, he focuses on scalable, user-centered solutions that address climate resilience and sustainable behavior change.
