Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatteo Bigoi is a software engineer with 11 years’ experience leading cross-organizational efforts to build and operate tier‑1, business‑critical distributed systems. He combines deep backend expertise in Rust, Python, and Go with hands‑on performance diagnostics on *NIX systems and pragmatic network security remediation. At AWS he contributed to foundational service frameworks and to the smithy-rs project—improving code generation and server-side performance for the AWS SDK for Rust—bringing open-source practice into large-scale internal tooling. He’s led infrastructure and networking efforts at startups and now serves as Infrastructure Lead at Helsing, bridging low-level systems work with product needs. Known jokingly as an “internet plumber,” he’s comfortable dialing into packet traces, runtime profiles, and compiler-lean code generation to solve emergent production problems.
