Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDiego García is a seasoned software engineer with 17 years of experience, currently contributing to Igalia’s networking team and holding committer status in the WebKit project. A lifelong Linux user and FOSS advocate, he blends low-level networking work (Snabb, lwAFTR, BPF-compatible packet filtering) with browser and embedded WebKit development across Linux and CEF. His background spans system administration, teaching, and distributed computing—he built email-analysis tooling on Hadoop/HBase and improved performance-critical networking code. Based in Košice but with extensive international experience (living in Shenzhen since 2020 and earlier roles in Hong Kong), he brings pragmatic cross-cultural engineering and mentoring to complex open-source projects. Notably, he balances deep protocol and compiler interests with hands-on build and porting expertise for embedded platforms.
