Fernando Pelliccioni is a veteran systems programmer and C++ expert with over 36 years of coding experience and 28 years as a professional software engineer, currently contributing to the C++ standards committees and leading high-performance projects. He is a core developer in the Bitcoin ecosystem—founder and lead of the Knuth node and a long-time contributor to Bitcoin Cash Node and Bitcoin ABC—bringing deep full-node and protocol implementation expertise. His work spans modern C++ (up to C++23), SIMD and template metaprogramming, WebAssembly client-side data processing, and Rust/Solidity-based DeFi systems, including multiple Uniswap-derived DEXes and an on-chain order book. Fernando’s engineering has real-world impact beyond software: his COPLA tooling helped define Argentina’s extended continental shelf and earned a national parliamentary honor. At Graphext he builds C++23-to-WebAssembly engines that process millions of rows in the browser, and his open-source contributions include improving Conan recipes and stabilizing key Bitcoin ABC components. He blends low-level performance engineering with practical product deployments, from exchange order books to browser-native data analytics.
