Summary
🤩
RockstarAlon Bar-lev is a Chief Software Architect and CISO with 25 years of experience, currently leading architecture and security at Exodigo from Israel. He pairs senior leadership roles at Amdocs, Red Hat and a national defence R&D organization with hands-on expertise across full‑stack, embedded Linux, low‑level programming and complex IT infrastructure. A practical integrator, he repeatedly modernized build and deployment pipelines and hardens cryptographic systems — contributing to high-profile open-source projects such as Netdata, OpenVPN, OpenSC and SoftHSM. Known for a "make it happen" approach, he bridges strategic system design with developer-level fixes from autotools and installers to PKCS#11 and ECDSA/ECDH integration. As a reminder that he cares about end users too, he even added Hebrew localization to a JavaScript project, highlighting attention to polish as well as plumbing.

Jan 2017 - Feb 2021
SoftHSM version 2
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:6 reviews, 7 commits, 8 PRs in 4 years 1 month
Contributions summary:Alon contributed significantly to the SoftHSMv2 project by implementing support for OpenSSL and Libressl, ensuring compatibility across different versions and configurations. They modified code related to cryptographic operations, including ECDSA, ECDH, RSA, and DSA, adapting to engine loading changes. Additionally, they improved build processes by detecting crypto algorithms by default and added a configuration option for retrieving the default PKCS#11 library path. This suggests a focus on cryptographic library integration and build system management.
