As far as I know Gian-Carlo Pascutto is not among the original authors of Stockfish, though he did work on chess engines.

Perhaps you were confused because Leela Chess Zero was forked from Leela Zero (neural network Go engine by Pascutto) but it includes Stockfish's move generation logic.

I think OP was referring to Gary Linscott who has made major contributions to both Stockfish and made an adaptation of Leela Zero to Chess, now living under the Leela Chess Zero Github org but apparently a different adaptation is now the officially sanctioned one, at least his commits don't show up in the new lc0 repo.

He's also well known for his absolutely amazing work on audio fingerprinting.
