Francesco Furlan is a pragmatic software engineer with 11 years of experience building backend systems, developer tooling, and cloud-native platforms across startups and scale-ups, currently at Sysdig. He blends hands-on engineering (Go, Node.js, TypeScript, Kubernetes, Serverless) with DevOps and solutions-architecture experience, having driven migrations, observability initiatives, and a 40x increase in deploy frequency through automation. Francesco excels at improving developer experience—introducing and customizing Backstage, optimizing internal build tools, and creating internal apps that streamline processes beyond engineering. He’s skilled at turning customer needs into reliable architectures (DBaaS, medical and IoT platforms) and mentors teams through transitions from monoliths to microservices. Based in Pordenone, Italy, he pairs a constant curiosity for new methodologies with a collaborative mindset, often surfacing non-obvious bottlenecks via tracing and telemetry to deliver measurable operational improvements.
