Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDario Faggioli is a seasoned software engineer with 26 years of experience specializing in low-level systems, real-time scheduling, and virtualization. With a Ph.D. focused on Linux kernel internals and soft real-time systems, he has spent the past decade improving scheduling, NUMA support, and memory management in the Xen hypervisor and now contributes to SUSE’s virtualization efforts. A long-time open source maintainer, he has successfully navigated kernel development workflows and community collaboration across Linux, Xen, LibVirt and more. Equally fluent in C/C++ for kernel and userland work, he pairs deep theoretical knowledge of QoS and scheduling algorithms with practical firmware and embedded systems experience. Based in Florence, Italy, Dario brings a rare blend of academic rigor and production-hardened hypervisor engineering—and still enjoys tinkering with OS internals for fun.
