Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSimone Scarduzio is a polyglot principal engineer and cofounder with 12+ years building scalable, production-grade systems from telco messaging to AI-driven investigative intelligence. He bootstrapped ReadonlyREST from an MIT-licensed OSS project into a profitable B2B company serving institutions, governments, and Fortune 100 clients with remarkably low churn, and now leads engineering at Octostar where he created the first link-chart ontology navigator and a Kubernetes-based application engine. Comfortable across Java, Scala, Python and cloud-native tooling, he has repeatedly simplified legacy architectures into dramatically faster, cheaper microservices and data pipelines. A hands-on leader who started as employee #2 at an early music startup and wrote backends for emerging markets, he blends deep systems experience with product-focused entrepreneurship. Based in Sardinia, he pairs practical engineering craft with an eye for building sustainable, revenue-generating open-source ecosystems.
