Dicky Arinal is a seasoned software engineer with 12 years of experience building scalable distributed systems and embedded solutions, currently contributing to Disney+ engineering in Manchester. His background spans low-level kernel and device work (including a backup kernel module and custom I/O libraries) through to high‑throughput backend services using Scala, Kafka, Cassandra and Akka. He combines deep electrical-engineering intuition—ranging from Maxwell’s equations to circuit design—with pragmatic system architecture, teaching OS/kernel internals and reactive patterns along the way. An active open-source contributor, he has improved OpenAPI generation in the swagger-core project and maintains opinionated repos that reflect his taste for minimal, keyboard-driven workflows. Known for demystifying complex topics in unconventional venues, he prefers Emacs with Evil on an ArchLinux, and dislikes mouse-driven interfaces.
