About

I’m Sergi Mansilla, an Engineering Leader focused on bringing AI and computing to the edge. I spend most of my time trying to understand how people and technology can work together a little more smoothly.

I’m Director of Engineering at Edge Impulse, part of Qualcomm Technologies, where I help guide the teams building tools that bring AI closer to the physical world where computing actually meets life.

What Moves Me

I’ve always been drawn to systems that empower developers and open new creative space. Sometimes that means working close to hardware, sometimes it means building distributed platforms in the cloud, and sometimes it means finding better ways for teams of people to build things together.

My Path

Over the years I’ve wandered through many corners of the industry:

  • Building and scaling the Edge Impulse platform as it grew into a community of 350,000 people doing incredible things with tiny devices.
  • Leading technical teams at Nearform, building reliable enterprise applications for high-profile clients.
  • Leading the platform team at Glovo tackling real-world, high-volume problems at scale.
  • Working at Mozilla on Firefox OS, where I learned how much care and hope goes into large-scale open-source projects.
  • Designing systems at Telenor Digital.
  • Earlier, helping build Cloud9 IDE and leading the interface framework team at TomTom.
  • Co-founding JustPeace Labs, a non-profit focused on ethical technology.

None of these steps were planned in advance; each one taught me something new about how people build, collaborate, and imagine the future.

Today

I live in Barcelona, a place that gives me energy and perspective. I still spend my free time tinkering, exploring new ideas, or just trying to understand where computing is heading next.
Now and then I write or speak about topics like reactive systems, AI at the edge, and the sometimes messy process of building things that last. I also wrote Reactive Programming with RxJS, which grew out of a desire to explain patterns I found beautiful.
