Ciao! 😁

I am an Open Source software developer, spending uncountable nightly hours developing libraries, repositories, and tools for everyone to use freely.

My current areas of expertise include the Linux kernel, eBPF, containers, Kubernetes, C++, Go, JavaScript, and Ragel. Generally, everything is somewhat related to security. But I also love doing parsers and CLIs.

Knowing that people are using my code because it's helping them build their things makes me happy in ways I can't fully describe! 🫶

Some examples of things I've built along the way are:

• Falco
  • The CNCF runtime security engine
• bpfcov
  • A tool to obtain source-code coverage for eBPF programs running in the Linux kernel
• traffico
  • An hassles-free CNI plugin and standalone CLI to shape your network traffic with TC BPF programs
• kubectl-trace
  • A kubectl plugin that allows you to schedule bpftrace programs in your Kubernetes
• go-syslog
  • A blazingly fast Go parser for Syslog messages
• go-urn
  • A Go module to parse all the uniform resource names out there
• kubectl-dig
  • A kubectl plugin for deep Kubernetes visibility
• kube-bpf
  • A prototype on how to export Prometheus metrics about Kubernetes (and its workloads) with eBPF (done in 2018)
• go-conventionalcommits
  • A Go module to parse your commit messages as the Conventional Commits spec demands

I dream of a world where people can code freely: a paradigm shift from coding for a living to coding for fun, knowledge, and sharing!

Although the world is finally turning Open Source .. 🌻 a lot remains to be done to make it financially sustainable.

I also love helping and mentoring, and I am very involved in the CNCF landscape as a member of the KubeCon reviewers committee.

As a long-time Open Source ambassador and developer, I practice building OSS communities and helping contributors grow and thrive through relationships.

Why support me?

Being involved in Open Source requires a lot of energy and focus.

Supporting me with sponsorship will allow me to:

• Spend even more time creating new awesome projects
• Promptly address issues and review PRs
• Dedicate more love to all the projects
• Share ideas, thoughts, and code through live streams with new Open Source friends
• Share exclusive updates and discuss ideas with all my supporters

Let's make the opensource world even better together 🌍 🤗
