Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJaime Pillora is a Principal Software Engineer based in Sydney with 13 years building resilient web and networking systems, currently driving platform work at Macquarie Group. He specializes in Go, JavaScript, networking and cloud-native architectures and has repeatedly shipped full-stack products—from Dockerised DNS services and self-hosted torrent UIs to real-time network orchestration and router-as-a-service platforms. A long-time open-source author and maintainer (notably projects like chisel, overseer and docker-dnsmasq), he blends low-level networking and DevOps skills with polished front-end UX work. Jaime’s experience spans startups he co-founded to enterprise engineering at banks and broadcasters, giving him a knack for turning complex infrastructure requirements into pragmatic, automatable systems. He often pairs small, portable Go tooling with production CI/CD and WebSocket-driven realtime UIs—an indicator of his preference for practical, observable systems.
