🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFrancesco Garofalo is a software engineer focused on growth, currently building product and infrastructure at Teleport while also running Volo, a startup he co-founded that scrapes and processes hundreds of thousands of flight listings daily. He brings four years of engineering experience and a background in finance and M&A, which informs his data-driven approach to product optimization and cost-efficiency. At Volo he engineered a serverless scraping stack with residential proxies and event-driven automation, achieving roughly 99% cost savings versus traditional APIs—an example of practical engineering that directly impacts unit economics. Previously at Wish he strengthened platform reliability and security, implemented high-coverage testing, and shipped backend and frontend features that improved auditing and access control. Based in San Francisco and trained at Purdue, he blends entrepreneurial initiative with production-grade infrastructure skills across AWS, Terraform, Go, and observability tooling. He tends to favor pragmatic, cost-conscious designs that scale message throughput and operational resilience.
