Summary
Joseph Virzi is a seasoned software engineer with 11+ years of experience building embedded systems, large-scale telecom automation, and real-time data pipelines, currently driving telecommunications automation at Telepath Corporation in New York. With a Ph.D. in High Energy Physics from UC Berkeley and a background in Bayesian inference and sensor fusion, he excels at turning noisy measurements into efficient, real-time estimators and practical engineering solutions. He has architected world-class systems—from the largest non-blocking audio conferencing engine to camera-to-ML pipelines for autonomous driving—and prefers elegant, simple algorithms inspired by cross-disciplinary ideas (he once drew on thermodynamic entropy to design an audio conferencing algorithm). Comfortable across hardware, firmware, and cloud stacks, he combines scientific rigor with hands-on product delivery and a knack for finding unexpected inspirations when the solution is not obvious.
