Roberto Vitillo

I have over 10 years of experience in the tech industry as a software engineer, technical lead, and manager. After getting my master's degree in computer science from the University of Pisa, I worked on scientific computing applications at the Berkeley Lab. The software I contributed is used to this day by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Next, I worked at Mozilla, where I set the direction of the data platform from its very early days and built a large part of it, including the team. In 2017, I joined Microsoft to work on an internal SaaS for telemetry. Since then, I have helped launch multiple public SaaS products, like Playfab and Customer Insights. The data ingestion platform I am responsible for is one of the largest in the world, ingesting millions of events per second from billions of devices worldwide.
