Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolArianna Avanzini is a Site Reliability Engineer with 14 years of systems and software experience and nine years at Google, where she has rotated between SRE and SWE roles supporting user-facing products and internal tools. She brings deep low-level expertise from years maintaining the BFQ Linux I/O scheduler and early-career work on assembly for proprietary hardware, real-time ERIKA OS integration, and Xen virtualization. Arianna contributes to open-source networking tooling—adding packet-dump and flow-specific capture capabilities to ntopng—bridging kernel- and user-space perspectives for observability and debugging. Based in Zurich, she combines production-scale reliability engineering with hands-on C++ and Linux kernel development, making her especially effective at troubleshooting performance and I/O bottlenecks. Colleagues value her ability to translate complex system behavior into practical monitoring and mitigation strategies.
