Matteo Di Paolantonio is a pragmatic technology leader and founder with a decade of experience building cloud-native, microservices-driven platforms and geospatial systems. He cut his teeth developing Earth observation and GIS solutions for aerospace clients like ESA before pivoting to startup-scale engineering where he mastered React, Node.js, Kubernetes and Azure. Matteo has scaled teams and delivery across multiple countries, running pre-sales-to-support cycles and leading technical strategy for organizations of 100–200+ engineers. As CTO and co-founder of both Sherpa Platform and Orbitant, he now blends product-focused technical vision with operational rigor to help businesses make data-driven decisions. Colleagues describe him as a hands-on architect who still enjoys coding and translating ambiguous client needs into pragmatic, scalable systems. He pairs a Master’s in Computer Engineering with a rare mix of domain expertise in geospatial software and large-scale engineering leadership.
