Summary
Franco Ardiani is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building secure, production-grade systems across backend, frontend and cloud-native environments from Greater Barcelona. Comfortable leading teams, he combines hands-on development in Django, Kafka, Kubernetes and C++ with responsibilities in architecture, incident response, hiring and onboarding. His background in mechatronics (double degree from Argentina and France) and early electronics/control work gives him an unusual systems-thinking perspective when hardening connectivity and emulation platforms. At AttackIQ he advanced from developing adversary emulations to owning architecture and customer-facing resolution of urgent issues, while previously driving product security at McAfee and ERNI. Colleagues describe him as a collaborative, adaptable problem-solver who prefers interdisciplinary teams and brings interpersonal leadership as a technical multiplier. He often steps beyond his comfort zone to close gaps between security, QA and engineering, turning vulnerability findings into durable product improvements.
