Hi, I'm Stefano
I'm an aerospace engineer from Piedmont, Italy. Space has been my thing since school, when I reached the national finals of the Italian Astronomy Olympiad.
Since then I've worked across research, industry and a start-up I co-founded: from fault-tolerant control at NASA JPL, to ESA proposals at Revolv Space, to building a product used by more than 100,000 people. Outside engineering, I volunteer as treasurer of my town's youth association and I'm a certified scuba diver.
Life outside the lab
