Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPedro Giffuni is an engineering manager and multidisciplinary engineer with 14 years of experience leading cross-functional teams to deliver cloud-native Java/React microservices and robust industrial systems. He combines hands-on software craftsmanship—contributing 1000+ commits to FreeBSD and working on RTEMS licensing and timekeeping—with production leadership in manufacturing, applying Six Sigma Black Belt discipline to improve quality and throughput. At Globant he drove a 20% team performance uplift, enforced ≥80% automated test coverage, and streamlined CI/CD on AWS/Azure to accelerate FinTech deliveries. Comfortable across low-level system work, full-stack development, and hardware-oriented design, he has repeatedly bridged software and industrial domains (APQP, SPC, CAD) to solve complex problems. A polyglot (English, Spanish, Italian, some French) and dual Colombian/EU citizen, he brings global experience from the USA, Europe and Latin America and a knack for pragmatic, standards-driven engineering.

FreeBSD is great, I just want to keep a local copy and perhaps experiment a bit every now and then..
