Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDiego Fronza is a senior software engineer with over two decades of experience building reliable, secure backend systems in C/C++, Go, and Python. He has deep systems and network expertise from projects like BIND and high-performance database tooling such as pg_stat_monitor for PostgreSQL, and has shipped production services using Docker, Kubernetes and GCP. Diego blends low-level systems programming (device drivers, ISO 8583 payment platforms) with cloud-native service design, making him comfortable across the stack from kernel-space to distributed APIs. He’s an active open-source contributor with visible commits to major projects and a history of creating OSS tooling used in production. Based in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, he brings practical leadership from multi-year roles at Percona, ISC, Cased and startups, often mentoring small teams while shipping complex features. Outside work he pursues fishing, martial arts and a fascination with old history—hints of the patient, disciplined approach he applies to software problems.
