I’m Alessandro Mingione, a designer from Rome, Italy, living in Oakland, California. For the past five years I’ve been designing security and privacy software.

I started at Palantir, where I led Design for the Foundry Security product area and collaborated with the Privacy and Civil Liberties team.

I then briefly contracted for Tonic, a startup that combines synthetic data and AI to create fake datasets that behave like the real deal.

I’m now at Tailscale, where we are building the new internet: an internet of decentralized networks that make the most out of cryptography and the powerful dynamics of small social groups (without burning the planet!).
