Nicolás Bertoldo is a software engineer from Córdoba, Argentina with a solid electronics engineering background and over a decade of experience across communications, energy, medical and transport sectors. He has transitioned from hands-on hardware and firmware roles—designing ARM-based embedded systems and integrating WiFi, GSM, NFC and CAN—to backend and QA engineering at Wazuh, contributing fixes and unit tests to a major open-source security platform. Comfortable in C/C++ and embedded Linux, he blends low-level debugging skills with modern development practices like Git, Scrum and automated testing. At Honeywell he developed mobile communications firmware and at CONTROLNET he led support and firmware project management, showing both technical depth and operational ownership. Notably, his Wazuh contributions improved Windows event collection and process handling, reflecting a knack for stabilizing cross-platform telemetry and observability. He pairs rigorous academic training with practical product-focused engineering and a track record of moving features from circuit bench to production software.
