Rodrigo Gregori

Software Engineer Specialist

I have almost 20 years of experience in IT, ranging from development, both web and desktop, to systems and network administration. At work I like solving problems and I am enthusiastic with new languages, technologies and best practices. Most of my work experience is related with systems management and automatization of tasks.

About

Engineering leader with two decades

From wiring network closets at city hall to architecting enterprise solutions at Zup Innovation, my career spans the full spectrum of technology. I thrive at the intersection of infrastructure and software — building systems that are not only elegant but operationally sound.

Beyond code, I spent nine years shaping the next generation of engineers as a university professor, teaching everything from Artificial Intelligence to Operating Systems. I believe the best engineers understand the entire stack — and I've lived that philosophy every day for nearly 20 years.
