Senior🎓
Top SchoolGiacomo Longo is a postdoctoral researcher and seasoned software engineer with a decade of experience at the intersection of cybersecurity, cloud computing, and telecom systems. He combines academic depth—PhD in Computer Engineering—with practical engineering work from Dockerized DevOps for Apache Guacamole to localization of the Rust website into Italian, showing careful attention to internationalization and UX. Currently engaged in anti-drone and LPI radar projects for NATO and teaching virtualization and cloud computing at the University of Genoa, he blends research, operational engineering, and instruction. Past roles include building BDD test frameworks, VoIP migrations, and hands-on configuration scripting, reflecting a knack for pragmatic automation and clear technical documentation. Colleagues describe him wryly as a “professional supervillain,” a hint at his dry humor and appetite for digging into man pages to solve tricky problems.

glyptodon/guacamole-client
Apr 2020 - Jun 2021
The Guacamole project is now Apache Guacamole (http://guacamole.apache.org/). This repository has been repurposed as the base for the Apache Guacamole packages built for Glyptodon Enterprise.
Role in this project:DevOps Engineer

Contributions summary:Giacomo focused on configuring the Apache Guacamole client within a Docker environment. Their primary contributions involved setting up and modifying the Tomcat RemoteIPValve, ensuring the correct remote IP address is captured from proxy headers. They improved the configuration process by iterating through different implementation methods, including inline sed commands and ultimately using xmlstarlet. This work was specifically focused on the `guacamole-docker` setup.
