Summary
Giuliano Mega is a versatile software engineer and project lead with 12 years of experience bridging industry and academia, currently heading Logos Storage at the Institute of Free Technology from São Paulo. He combines hands-on backend and full-stack engineering with data science and data engineering expertise, having led teams and built production-grade platforms (from Prefect pipelines on GKE to RoR and Scala systems). Academically trained with a Ph.D. in distributed and decentralized systems, he specializes in large-scale dynamic networks and P2P protocols and has driven the P2P layer for the Codex decentralized storage project. Known as a slow, careful thinker with insatiable curiosity, he enforces modern engineering practices—CD/CI, TDD, DDD—while also contributing to research-grade system design. Less obvious: he repeatedly moves between roles as individual contributor, tech lead, and CTO, which gives him rare fluency in both low-level protocol work and product/organizational strategy.
