Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMoreno Ambrosin is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of experience blending research-grade cryptography and production backend engineering, currently based in Musile di Piave, Italy and working at Google. His background includes a PhD and postdoctoral work from Università degli Studi di Padova and multi-year research roles at Intel Labs, giving him deep expertise in applied security and low-level systems. At Google he has progressed from software engineer to senior roles, applying rigorous research instincts to large-scale product codebases. Moreno is an active open-source contributor—his work on the widely used Tink crypto library added alternative AES-GCM EVP_CIPHER implementations to improve compatibility and safety when modern EVP_AEAD APIs aren’t available. He combines a researcher’s attention to subtle implementation details with a pragmatist’s focus on tests and utilities that make cryptographic code safer in the wild. Colleagues would describe him as a methodical engineer who turns cryptographic theory into reliable, production-ready implementations.
