Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVittorio Palmisano is a PhD-trained software engineer with 16 years of experience building high-performance, fault-tolerant systems for real-time communication and live streaming. He has led full-stack and backend engineering efforts at scale—designing WebRTC, HLS and media-encoding pipelines that support thousands of concurrent users—most recently contributing to Miro’s AV stack after staff roles at RingCentral and Hopin. A prolific researcher turned practitioner, he combines academic work on congestion control and adaptive streaming with hands-on optimizations in popular open-source projects like mediasoup (improving rate calculation, security dependencies and VP9 handling). He co-founded Quavlive and authored tools used to test and measure streaming quality, enabling precise capacity and performance tuning in production. Based in Bari, Italy, Vittorio blends systems-level rigor with practical cloud and infrastructure experience, and he has applied AI techniques to realtime audio/video workflows—an uncommon cross-section of skills in the video domain.
