Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEmanuele Zattin is a Principal Engineering Manager based in Copenhagen with 16 years of experience building and modernizing complex CI/CD, build and release systems for mobile and backend platforms. He combines hands-on engineering (Java, Python, Groovy, build systems like Gradle/Bazel/CMake) with people leadership, having progressed from automation and mobile team manager roles to principal engineering management at Capture One. He has deep expertise in ALM tooling—Jenkins and Gerrit plugin development and administration—and a track record of improving build and test infrastructure across high-profile open-source projects such as Realm (contributing cross-platform build, Android support and CI improvements). Pragmatic about legacy code, he excels at re-architecting systems for scalability, developer experience and automated releases, often adding platform support and release automation. With an MSc in Applied Mathematics, he brings a quantitative mindset to optimization and reliability work, and an underrated strength is his ability to translate low-level build intricacies into clear, team-scalable processes.
