DWeb Camp 2026

Stefano De Vuono

Hi. My name is Stefano De Vuono (he/him). I'm sometimes a San Francisco-based and sometimes Earth-based software engineer. I've often straddled the line between art and technology, design and code. I wrote my first university essay on emacs on my new Linux install. I've worked as a web (and sometimes embedded hardware) developer a digital art startup, where I designed and patented a digital image security system.

Whether helping a client revamp their developer tooling, shortening onboarding from two weeks to less than a day, collaborating with artists to develop interactive installations, or mentoring junior engineers, I have a passion for making things better Currently, I'm open to senior or staff-level engineering roles, ideally with a focus on backend or infrastructure work.

I'm also open to collaborating on interesting projects or chatting about math! Please don't hesitate to reach out! You can find me. I believe in you.

Back by popular demand: the DWeb Demo Night Market -- a festive evening kick-off event where you can get a taste of tech from around the world, directly from the decentralized tech stack. We’re highlighting “ready to test” new tools, in a beautifully lit outdoor market, where you can grab a cocktail and wander through dozens of select projects demonstrating their latest breakthroughs.

In part, check out projects to help plan for what sessions to attend in the week ahead.
