Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCristobal Forno is a Senior Software Engineer based in Austin with nine years of experience building kernel-level and cloud-native systems, currently driving engineering work at Flatiron Health. He combines deep C/Linux kernel expertise from his time at IBM—where he developed networking drivers for PowerVM, submitted public kernel patches, and built CI for firmware-sensitive code—with full-stack service development using Ruby, Python, and JavaScript. Comfortable across microservices, Docker/Kubernetes, and CI/CD tooling, he emphasizes user-centered, iterative delivery and strong technical documentation. A practiced mentor and collaborator, he has guided interns and cross-company partners through complex backports and releases. Less obvious: he pairs low-level systems craftsmanship with product-focused RoR experience, enabling him to move seamlessly between kernel patches and customer-facing services.
