Joe Sottolano

Joe Sottolano

Joe Sottolano, a New York native, was among the 36 athletes nationwide chosen to try out for Team USA in 1990, marking a significant milestone early in his athletic career. His prowess was further recognized when he earned the title of Most Outstanding Player (MOP) during the 1988 Division III NCAA Baseball National Championship.

Joe has a distinguished 23-year tenure in Division I coaching, 14 of which he served as a head coach. Under his guidance, more than 20 student-athletes have been selected in the MLB Amateur Draft, and he has coached 46 All-Americans. His coaching efforts saw Chris Rowley reach the Major Leagues, a testament to his effectiveness as a mentor and leader.

Guided by the core values of Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence—values ingrained during his time at West Point—Joe's approach to coaching has shaped his personal and professional life profoundly.

Joe's journey began at Minisink Valley High School in Orange County, New York, where his exceptional skill earned him the 1986 Times Herald Records Tri-County Player of the Year. He continued to excel at Ithaca College, leading the Bombers to a national championship as a sophomore and earning the distinction of the most outstanding player of the Division III World Series.

After graduating in 1990 with a Bachelor of Science, concentrating in PE Teaching with a minor in Health, Joe embarked on his coaching career at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. He was responsible for the pitching staff and the team's strength and agility programs, recruiting talented players and setting the stage for future successes.

Joe returned to Ithaca College to earn a Master of Science, further refining his coaching abilities while assisting the baseball team.

In 1992, Joe's career took a significant turn when he joined the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point. Starting as an Army Assistant Coach, he was promoted to Head Coach in 2000. At USMA, he transformed the Division I Baseball Team, surpassing recruitment and fundraising targets and fostering a culture of Excellence and integrity. He managed all on-field instruction, practice schedules, and comprehensive training programs.

As head coach from 2000 to 2013, Joe elevated USMA's baseball program to national prominence, securing multiple NCAA tournament berths for the first time in over a century and becoming the winning coach in the Academy's history.

He managed a substantial annual budget, raised over $4 million through fundraising, and significantly expanded USMA's donor base. His leadership extended beyond the field as he served as the team's brand ambassador on major sports networks.

After West Point, Joe was a lead instructor at the Frozen Ropes National Training Center and later at the Extra Innings Baseball/Softball Facility, where he developed comprehensive training manuals for coaches.

Currently, Joe oversees the physical education curriculum and athletic activities at Holy Family Schools in Alabama, emphasizing ethics, leadership, and Christian values. He also coaches the 14u Southeast Canes Scout team with his sons and works as a sales inspector for Yellowhammer Roofing in Huntsville, Alabama.

Outside of his professional life, Joe enjoys time with his wife, Lori, and their two sons, engaging in hunting and fishing. Committed to his faith and community, he actively supports local charities and provides for people in need, embodying the spirit of service and generosity.

Joe Sottolano's life and career exemplify a commitment to Excellence, integrity, and service. Through his professional achievements and community involvement, he has impacted countless individuals.

I am an Android Software Engineer at iFood, one of the largest food delivery platforms in the world, processing over 120 million orders per month. As part of the Order Delivery team, I work on critical flows that every order passes through, directly impacting the experience of millions of users. My expertise spans app performance, scalability, monitoring, and the delivery of robust solutions for complex distributed systems.

In recent years, I have expanded my focus into Edge AI and on-device machine learning. I’ve been actively researching and building proof of concepts using Android’s ML Kit Prompt APIs and on-device generative models, exploring how Edge AI can move from experimentation to real product features. My work investigates practical trade-offs between cloud and on-device AI, including latency, privacy, cost, and scalability, always with a production-first mindset. I am particularly interested in transforming AI capabilities into tangible user value within large-scale mobile applications.

My journey in monitoring began during an internship, where I gained hands-on experience working on large-scale systems. Over time, I developed a deep understanding of designing effective observability strategies, integrating tools such as Analytics, Crashlytics, and health monitoring into development lifecycles. At iFood, I have been responsible for implementing scalable monitoring solutions to ensure operational reliability and an exceptional user experience.

Academically, I hold a degree in Control and Automation Engineering from UNICAMP and I am currently pursuing a postgraduate degree in Software Engineering, also at UNICAMP. My research paper, "Effective Monitoring of Mobile Applications in Production," received top marks and strengthened my ability to bridge theory and real-world engineering challenges. More recently, my academic and professional interests have converged around applied AI in mobile environments, especially the evolution of Edge AI in Android ecosystems.

Most leaders are great at what they do, but struggle to get their teams fully bought in. When communication lacks clarity and charisma, even the most talented teams become disconnected, unmotivated, and underperforming.
