Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Mattioli is an infrastructure-focused engineer with 11 years of experience designing resilient Unix/Linux systems, high-availability networks, and storage and load-balancing topologies for major financial firms. He has progressed through technical leadership roles at Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo and now advises Citadel, bringing pragmatic architecture and business continuity planning to high-stakes environments. Academically grounded with a BS in Computer Engineering, an MS in Cybersecurity Risk and Strategy, and ongoing PhD work in Electrical Engineering at NYU, he blends rigorous research skills with hands-on systems delivery. An active open-source contributor, he has improved core tooling such as the pure-Python PyPXE PXE server and clarified MIT krb5 documentation—work that reflects attention to both operational robustness and developer experience. Known for tightening security and intrusion-prevention practices while simplifying configurations, he often surfaces subtle but impactful fixes (like optionalizing services and correcting subtle variable bugs) that reduce operational risk. Based in New York, he pairs deep infrastructure craft with cross-disciplinary communication to drive reliable, auditable systems at scale.
