Summary
Francesco Salvestrini is a seasoned project manager and senior system/software engineer with 18 years of experience designing carrier-grade, high-availability systems and network protocols for embedded and UNIX environments. He blends deep C/C++ expertise with Python and Perl automation to deliver modular, performance-conscious architectures across multi-threaded and multi-tier systems. At Nextworks and previous research and foundation roles he has bridged hands-on system development with project leadership, driving integration and deployment of large-scale distributed solutions. He is comfortable with real-time multitasking constraints and build/refactoring pipelines, bringing pragmatic trade-off analysis to complex engineering decisions. Based in Italy and trained at Università di Pisa, he pairs academic grounding with long-term industrial practice in carrier and embedded domains. An understated strength is his ability to translate low-level protocol design into maintainable, testable system software that meets carrier reliability expectations.
