Paolo Dragone is a quantitative developer with 12 years of experience translating research into production-grade trading and ML systems across crypto, ad tech, and consumer platforms. He has designed profitable algorithmic strategies and built low-latency distributed data pipelines ingesting millions of events per hour using Kafka, BigQuery, and containerized AWS infrastructure. Previously he scaled recommendation and retrieval models at Twitter and developed multilingual deep learning solutions and statistical detectors at Criteo, blending rigorous research (PhD-level) with hands-on engineering. Paolo is comfortable owning end-to-end stacks—from model development to real-time deployment—and has a track record of improving system reliability and deployment velocity under production constraints. Based in London with international academic experience across Trondheim, Melbourne and Oslo, he brings a research-minded approach to pragmatic, high-throughput systems engineering.
