Senior🎓
Top SchoolIgnasi Barrera is a founding engineer with 15 years of experience building cloud-native, distributed systems and modern networking solutions from research to production. Based in Catalonia, he leads development of an NGAC-based security platform at Tetrate that integrates with Istio and Envoy, and jointly researches this next-generation access control model with NIST. A long-time Apache member and Incubator PMC participant, he combines deep open-source stewardship—contributions to jclouds and maintenance of Envoy-related AI gateway work—with hands-on backend engineering. His background spans hybrid cloud platforms, high-concurrency systems, and infrastructure automation dating back to early JEE and Unix operations roles. Known for improving code quality and maintainability (e.g., license/header refactors in jclouds), he brings both academic rigor and pragmatic delivery to complex cloud-security problems.
