Summary
🤩
RockstarPeter Lombardo is a founder and seasoned software engineer with 15 years building resilient backend systems and observability tooling, now based in Palermo, Sicily. He created Password Pusher / Apnotic to securely share sensitive data with self-destructing links and full audit trails, applying practical security and usability trade-offs. His career spans embedded and distributed systems work—from kernel filesystem development at EMC to cloud-native IoT messaging at HiveMQ—and deep experience in performance instrumentation and observability. A hands-on developer who frequently ships Rails backend features (notably nested routes and view controllers for PasswordPusher), he blends product-minded engineering with operational rigor. He has run consulting businesses serving banks, startups and Fortune 500s, bringing both startup agility and enterprise-grade reliability. Colleagues would note he quietly moves between low-level systems and developer-facing tools, preferring pragmatic, auditable solutions over hype.
