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
  • 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

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 🌍 🤗

I'll prioritize any issues that you run into with any of my personal Open Source repositories.

There's a good chance I'll eventually fix it, even if you don't pay. Because that's why I usually do.
But at this tier, you get to have your issue to jump on top of the priority queue.

When I can't fix it, I'll also dig into the issue until I can provide you with workarounds or alternatives.

There is no guarantee since such a thing cannot be guaranteed, but I am unusually prolific, so it's likely that if it can be root caused and fixed, I'll fix it. If you are unsatisfied, I'll provide a one-time refund of that month's fee.
