Tommaso Levato is a Senior Software Engineer based in Amsterdam with 12 years of experience building backend systems across fast-paced product companies like FareHarbor, DAZN and Fenergo. Trained as a PhD-level researcher in sparse optimization and machine learning from Università di Firenze, he blends rigorous academic thinking with pragmatic engineering to deliver reliable, production-grade services. He has progressed from researcher roles and startup engineering to senior backend positions, often pairing hands-on coding with team-level ownership such as Scrum Master duties.
