Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRafael Guglielmetti is a Staff Software Engineer and team lead with a decade of experience building distributed systems and algorithmic solutions for fleet orchestration and privacy-enabled DLT protocols. He combines a strong theoretical background—a PhD in mathematics focused on hyperbolic geometry—with hands-on Scala engineering to design real-time matching, routing and synchronization algorithms. At Digital Asset he leads the Canton Protocol team, driving cross-team initiatives and shipping privacy-aware features while coaching a seven-person research team in CI/CD and agile best practices. Previously he led algorithmic research at Bestmile, translating complex simulations and optimization models into production services for vehicle fleets. Colleagues describe him as equally comfortable in protocol design and people management, able to bridge abstract research and pragmatic engineering. Outside product work he maintains a long history of freelance development and academic teaching, reflecting a rare blend of research rigor and production discipline.
