Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLuca Cominardi is a Staff Software Engineer based in Greater Paris with a Ph.D. in Telematics Engineering and over a decade of experience bridging academic research and industrial R&D in networking and distributed systems. He has led technology teams and research projects across Europe, from radio-access and fronthaul/backhaul research to senior roles in embedded and edge computing firms, and now shapes platform engineering at Ditto. A committed Rustacean and Eclipse Zenoh committer, Luca has contributed notable authentication and transport-layer improvements to zenoh—an influential project unifying pub/sub, storage and queries for geo-distributed systems. His background blends deep protocol-level expertise with hands-on backend development, and he often surfaces practical refinements (queue handling, transport tests, UDP refactors) that improve system reliability at scale.

zenoh unifies data in motion, data in-use, data at rest and computations. It carefully blends traditional pub/sub with geo-distributed storages, queries and computations, while retaining a level of time and space efficiency that is well beyond any of the mainstream stacks.
