Montevideo · Uruguay UTC−3 Technical Lead at Cline

Matías Zanolli

Software engineer, 15+ years. I work where sound, systems and data meet — audio restoration and mastering, AI pipelines, and reverse-engineering hardware from before most of it was documented.

01 Signal

Fifteen years of turning mate into code.

I started out scraping the web for a living and never really stopped pulling things apart. Most of my career has been Python and data — backends, pipelines, architecture — with a steady drift toward the parts of computing where the abstraction runs out: DSP, assembly, engine internals.

These days I split my time between audio — restoration, mastering, anything that turns a bad recording into a listenable one — and AI systems that have to survive contact with real users. On the side I write Rust and take apart 1990s consoles, which is the same job with worse documentation.

I've been a CTO twice. It mainly taught me that the title doesn't get you out of writing the hard parts yourself.
