Shielded Labs is pleased to welcome Giovanni Carlino as an engineer. Giovanni is based in Italy and will be working on our core projects while also supporting our Partner Services initiative.
Giovanni has a strong interest in systems engineering and security. He previously worked on Icarus, an advanced C/C++ IDE built in C99 using the Win32 API. Building a full development environment gave him a deep appreciation for software quality and performance, an approach he will bring to his work on Zcash.
He is particularly excited to join Shielded Labs because of its focus on building strong, privacy-preserving infrastructure. Giovanni says, “For me, Zcash is the leader in financial privacy, and joining this team is an opportunity to ensure that the underlying infrastructure is as robust and efficient as the cryptography it supports. I’m looking forward to helping Shielded Labs push the boundaries of what decentralized money can do.”
Giovanni’s addition strengthens our ability to execute on protocol development and ecosystem support. This brings the team to 11 members, including 9 full-time contributors and 2 part-time contributors who support operations and security. We’re excited to have him on board and look forward to his contributions.
Welcome to Shielded Labs, Giovanni!
