About Andrea Luzzardi
Building Mendral, an AI DevOps Engineer that fixes CI before you notice it\'s broken.I wrote Docker\'s first lines of code. Back in 2011 at dotCloud, I helped create what eventually became known as Docker. Then I set up Docker\'s first CI in 2014 and watched it break in all the ways CI still breaks today.After 7 years at Docker, I co-founded Dagger with Sam Alba and Solomon Hykes to make pipelines portable.Now we\'re back at YC (W26) building Mendral. After 15 years, I still think CI is a problem worth solving.Ex-Google (Storage Infrastructure) · Ex-Microsoft · 2× YC founder
Experience
Co-founder
Oct 2025 — Present · San Francisco, CA, US
Mendral is an always-on AI DevOps Engineer that observes, diagnoses, acts, and learns continuously. It autonomously handles CI failures, flaky tests, slow builds, broken releases, and code reviews, improving with every build and run. Over time, Mendral evolves into a self-improving delivery system that manages performance, quality, security, and compliance, all without manual intervention.
