Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatteo Manzi is a founder-operator and technical CEO with eight years of experience building research-driven software at the intersection of aerospace, quantitative finance, and decentralized systems. He co-founded multiple ventures—from Poincaré Trajectories (robust optimal control for financial dynamics) to CrunchDAO (a successful exit leveraging causal financial ML and blockchain crowdsourcing)—and now leads Orion Finance. His background spans flight dynamics and space-debris risk mitigation at ESA and academic work on uncertainty quantification and resilient satellite operations, bringing rigorous mathematical tools to practical product stacks. Matteo designs and ships full ML-to-production pipelines including sequential feature engineering, covariance decomposition, and constrained portfolio optimization integrated with convex solvers. Recently he applied multi-agent RL and agent-based coordination primitives to EVM-compatible decentralized computing, showing a rare blend of aerospace-grade control thinking with crypto-native protocols. Based in Italy, he combines deep technical research with entrepreneurial execution and a penchant for translating high-risk, uncertainty-aware research into deployed systems.
