SeniorPatrick Hartnett is a Principal Developer based in Viareggio, Italy, with over two decades in the localization industry and more than 11 years in senior engineering roles.

At RWS he drives requirements, technical design, testing, release engineering and stakeholder demos while mentoring teams and shaping developer experience for Trados.

An interpreter of complex requirements into auditable, testable systems, he often surfaces elegant, low-profile fixes that reduce operational friction for translators and support teams.
