Paolo D'apice is a senior engineering leader based in Shanghai with 14 years of hands-on experience building web and mobile products, machine learning pipelines, and digital audio/video systems. He holds a summa cum laude M.Sc. in Digital Signal Processing from Politecnico di Milano and blends deep technical expertise with strategic product and business insight as Senior Director of Engineering at SideChef. Paolo has driven major platform migrations (Windows/.NET to Linux/Django), pioneered company-wide adoption of React Native to dramatically cut duplicated code, and led integrations for smart kitchen appliances. He is as comfortable setting engineering standards, CI/CD and testing practices as he is mentoring teams and shaping go-to-market decisions. A background in sound design and multimedia processing gives him an uncommon edge when solving problems at the intersection of media, UX and scalable backend systems.
