Top SchoolAldo Lacuku is a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years of experience building cloud-native, security-focused infrastructure and devops tooling, currently at Kong after three years as an Open Source Engineer at Sysdig. He has deep low-level and kernel-interaction expertise—contributing drivers and syscall support to Falco’s libs and hardening its secure outputs—while also improving developer experience through CI/Helm automation and documentation. His research background at Politecnico di Torino led to core contributions on Liqo, where he designed multi-cluster networking primitives and tunnel operators for Kubernetes. Comfortable across backend, security, and DevOps domains, Aldo blends academic rigor with production-grade engineering and a knack for surfacing subtle kernel/FD edge cases that improve stability.
