Alba Mendez is a Senior Software Engineer based in Barcelona with 14 years of experience spanning Linux, networking, embedded systems, and full-stack JavaScript (React and Node.js). Currently at Dolby Laboratories, she brings deep low-level expertise—contributing to projects like Node.js internals, Jack audio, and libpcap bindings—while also shipping user-facing features such as a Telegram shell bot and CodeMirror addons. Her background in telecommunications engineering and systems administration gives her a practical edge in networking and real-time media, and she has made security- and protocol-sensitive contributions to libsrtp and HTTP/2. A fan of Haskell and language design, she pairs curiosity about math and formalism with hands-on fixes and tests across multimedia, cryptography, and streaming stacks.

Contributions summary:Alba primarily contributed to the core functionality of the `node-pcap/node_pcap` repository, which involves libpcap bindings for Node.js, focusing on packet capture and sniffing capabilities. Their work included exposing options, fixing bugs, and rewriting sections of the codebase. The contributions resulted in increased flexibility of the library, including the ability to customize packet capture behavior with options like `snap_length`, setting buffer timeouts and promiscuous mode, and handling of warnings, thus enhancing user control.
