Summary
🤩
RockstarDiego Ongaro is a founder and seasoned software engineer in Seattle with 18 years building distributed systems and infrastructure across startups and companies such as eBay and Salesforce. He is a co-author of Raft and an active open-source maintainer in that ecosystem, contributing to HashiCorp's Go implementation, LogCabin's RPC layer, and the raft.github.io site. His work uniquely straddles deep backend protocol engineering—e.g., replacing inflight trackers with a commitment tracker and implementing core RPC primitives—and front-end tooling that visualizes consensus behavior (ongardie/raftscope). As a founding engineer and current consultant, he pairs Stanford graduate-level research with product-focused delivery, turning consensus research into production-ready systems.
