Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolIvan Nardi is a software engineer with nine years of deep C expertise across embedded devices and carrier-grade, high-performance server environments, currently building multi-10Gb network probes and content-filtering platforms. He combines low-level systems skills—cross-toolchains, kernel drivers, debugging and performance optimization—across x86, PowerPC and ARM with strong networking knowledge from L2 to L7, including DPI and QUIC. His open-source work is security-focused and practical, contributing fixes and fuzzing/build automation to projects like nDPI, OSS-Fuzz and Wireshark and adding QUIC protocol improvements in picoquic. Comfortable collaborating daily with hardware designers, he brings a pragmatic product mindset from requirements and architecture to production deployment. An unusual strength is his track record of finding and fixing subtle memory and protocol parsing vulnerabilities that improve both reliability and security in networking stacks.
