Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEli Mesika is a senior software engineer and long-time maintainer of the oVirt open-source virtualization project, bringing 14+ years of experience in systems, virtualization, and telecom domains. At Red Hat (and previously Qumranet) he has driven back-end architecture and implementation for core oVirt components such as vdsm and the oVirt Engine, with hands-on work on fencing, power management proxies, and OS integration. He combines deep C/C++ and Java expertise with .NET, scripting, and database know-how, and has led small engineering teams through architecture, product, and delivery responsibilities. Eli’s career blends low-level systems programming and large-scale distributed design with practical productization—an uncommon mix that surfaces in his continuous improvements and refactors across critical virtualization codepaths. He holds a BSc in Computer Science from Technion and contributes actively to the oVirt community from Israel.
