Hello!

I’m
Paolo
Belcastro

I am a father, a husband,
a son, a friend, a cook,
a photographer, a geek.
I am also a big Totoro fan…

You can find me online as @p3ob7o

This is me

Born in Genova, Italy. After Paris, NYC, and Geneva, I currently call Vienna home. I speak Italian, French, and English. I am learning German.

I studied Mathematics, Physics, and Photography before falling in love with the Web.

I am passionate about products, people, logistics, technology, traveling, food, space, trains, cities, and photography.

This is
what I do

I build teams building products for Automattic, focused on Jetpack and .blog

I work at the crossroads of Product and Operations. I believe firmly in radical candor and that there is no problem we can’t solve with a discussion.

Leading distributed teams since 1998, I firmly believe that remote work is the key to peaceful coexistence for 10 billion humans.

I write
