Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMateo Cervilla is a software engineer and electronic engineering student based in Barcelona with five years of hands-on experience across embedded systems, computer vision, robotics, and security-focused backend development. He has shipped production software for robotics and agriculture on NVIDIA Jetson platforms, built CAN and Qt-based tooling, and contributed to the open-source Wazuh security platform by fixing memory leaks and improving vulnerability detection. Mateo has worked in both startup and corporate settings—including Wazuh, iRobot, and SimpliSafe—bridging low-level C/C++ and Linux tooling with higher-level Python and AI/vision stacks. He combines a practical hardware background (embedded Linux, NAS and network management) with a security-conscious mindset, which is reflected in his contributions to a prominent SIEM/XDR project. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic problem-solver who moves between firmware, vision algorithms, and production-grade security fixes with equal fluency.
