Ulderico Arcidiaco is an electronics engineer and in his spare time, airplane pilot, sailor, and amateur radio operator. He started his professional career at a leading multinational consulting company, designing integrated software architectures for mission-critical systems in industrial manufacturing and finance sectors. He then founded an engineering company to develop innovative internet-based software architectures. That company became the technology core of a fast-growing global digital media company, where Ulderico took the CTO's role, leading a multinational team of over 250 engineers.
Realizing the importance of systems integration in the home and building automation sector, he then co-founded a small, sharply focused company to develop a modern and flexible software platform for high-end building automation integration, where he still serves as CEO and CTO. Leveraging the experience in manufacturing automation, systems integration, and building management systems, but willing to also explore the potential of modern open-hardware design in industrial applications, Ulderico co-founded Sfera Labs in 2016, where he serves as CEO and lead hardware engineer.
