Mirko Banchi is a Senior Software Engineer based in Florence with 17 years of experience focused on system and kernel programming, device drivers, and low-level GNU/Linux development. He brings strong C expertise complemented by solid C++ and Java skills, and has applied that knowledge across long-term roles at Magenta, Thales, Hitachi Rail and now Develer. Mirko contributes to network simulation infrastructure—having improved WiFi MAC behavior in the ns-3-dev repository—demonstrating attention to protocol correctness and per-destination sequence handling. He excels at tackling embedded and systems problems that require careful resource and concurrency management, and often operates at the intersection of research-grade tooling and production engineering. Quietly persistent, he pairs deep technical focus with years of practical delivery in safety- and performance-sensitive domains.
