Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGianluca Pacchiella is an independent researcher and software engineer with 16 years of experience building embedded systems, cloud web apps, and computer vision solutions using C, C++, Python and Bash. He blends low-level expertise—kernel ports, firmware reverse-engineering across x86/ARM/MIPS/AVR and hardware protocols like I2C/SPI/UART—with higher-level work in Django, AWS, and distributed image-processing pipelines. A former team lead for ML-driven video analytics and author of an Android book, he also researches and discloses embedded vulnerabilities and side-channel issues (e.g., CVE-2020-9544, CVE-2020-8423). Gianluca designs custom electronics and 3D-printed tools to support his projects, and spends spare time on CTFs and cryptography, reflecting a practitioner-researcher mindset that bridges hardware, firmware and software security. Based in Turin, Italy, he favors pragmatic, auditable solutions and describes his coding approach succinctly: “I code for food.”
