Giacomo Bernardi is a Principal Engineer with nine years of senior engineering leadership and a long runway of technical impact across networking, cloud and AI-driven platforms. He designed a novel DC network fabric now standard in Amazon’s new deployments and has steered patent-pending routing and GPU-accelerated SDN innovations from prototype to fielded systems. Previously a CTO who grew an engineering organization from 30 to 350 people and a Distinguished Engineer who built ML-powered security and real-time analytics for millions of IoT devices, he blends product-led strategy with hands-on systems engineering. Comfortable leading cross-disciplinary teams and bootstrapping R&D centers, he pairs academic rigor (PhD in Wireless Networking) with demonstrated success in public-private partnerships and high-throughput network implementations. An uncommon strength is shipping production-grade research—turning novel algorithms into deployed, revenue-driving infrastructure.
