Nicolò Mazzucato is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building performant, production-grade systems, currently based in Venice and leading backend work at Google. He brings deep expertise in Android performance and tracing—evidenced by contributions to Google's widely used Perfetto project, where he added a nuanced Android power-consumption metric integrated into protobufs and tests. His background spans full-stack mobile engineering for startups and enterprises, earlier internships at IBM and Bloomberg, and an MPhil in Advanced Computer Science from Cambridge, reflecting strong academic and practical chops. Comfortable across C++, Kotlin, Python and TypeScript, he moves between low-level instrumentation and higher-level service design. Colleagues know him for translating device-level telemetry into actionable analytics, a skill honed from building both tools and apps for real-world users.

Contributions summary:Nicolò focused on adding a new metric for Android power consumption within the Perfetto tracing system. Their work involved modifying SQL queries to calculate the average total power used and updating the corresponding protobuf definitions and Python test scripts. These changes introduced a new `avg_total_used_power_mw` field to the `AndroidPowerRails` message and integrated it into the testing framework. This contribution aimed to provide a more comprehensive power consumption metric for analysis tools.
