Berlin, Germany
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTommaso Piazza is an engineering leader with 16 years of hands-on software experience and over seven years leading high-performing teams, currently driving Proton's Ecosystem - Accounts. He has a track record of turning around teams and shipping large-scale rebuilds—most notably orchestrating Wire’s complete Android re-development in 12 months and creating a Kotlin Multiplatform SDK to unify cross-platform efforts. Equally comfortable in code and strategy, he has led mobile, web and crypto teams, owned SDKs and release processes, and contributed to notable open-source projects like Carthage by improving Git dependency parsing. Based in Berlin, he blends academic rigor from PhD-level research in HCI with pragmatic product delivery, and is known for rebuilding processes as much as code. Colleagues describe him as a builder who optimizes for team potential and measurable impact rather than vanity metrics.
