Summary
Matteo Fortini is a Technical Project Manager and former embedded software engineer with 14 years of experience designing Linux-based network services, real-time embedded systems, and kernel-level drivers. He leverages a Ph.D. in Operations Research to blend rigorous optimization and systems thinking into digital transformation projects at Italy’s Dipartimento per la Trasformazione Digitale and as Italy’s deputy on the European Data Innovation Board. A long-time Embedded Linux and kernel hacker, Matteo has shipped low-latency ADC drivers, FPGA interfaces, multicast and VoIP systems, and led embedded video and automotive projects from BSP to DSP optimization. He pairs hands-on firmware and PostGIS/GIS optimization work from academic research with public-sector leadership experience as an Assessore, bridging technical delivery and policy. Active in open-data, civic hacking and maker communities in Cento, he seeks ambitious, mission-driven partners to apply smart technology to social challenges. Notably, his profile combines deep low-level engineering chops with formal optimization expertise—useful where constrained systems meet large-scale policy and data problems.
