Summary
Mattia Bradascio is a quantitative engineer and CTO with nine years of experience building high-performance, security-minded systems across blockchain, AI, and HPC domains. Currently contributing to Parity’s Polkadot core performance and leading AuumAI’s technical direction, he blends low-level Rust performance engineering with applied AI security research into conversational recommendation systems. His background spans a PhD-level focus on pervasive parallelism and HPC at Edinburgh, an MSc in Software/Systems Security from Oxford, and executive blockchain strategy training, enabling him to bridge rigorous research with production-grade engineering. Known for instrumenting systems for observability and optimization, he brings a pragmatic mix of experimentation and profiling to squeeze throughput from complex distributed protocols. Based in London, he pairs a finance education with deep technical chops—an uncommon combination that informs his work on tokenomics, consensus, and secure ML system design.
