Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLexi Wilson is a Senior Systems Programmer based in Queensland, Australia with about 15 years of experience building and hardening low-level systems and distributed services. She has deep kernel, networking and storage expertise—demonstrated by substantial illumos contributions around stack smashing protection, ZFS, KPTI and device drivers—plus production engineering work on Joyent’s Triton and Manta platforms. Comfortable across C, Erlang, Node.js and C++, she blends OS-level performance and reliability improvements with higher-level service design such as service discovery, DNS and auth systems. At the University of Queensland she combines development and systems administration, shipping custom virtual desktop gateways and SSO integrations. Colleagues rely on her for pragmatic, security-minded fixes that reduce attack surface and improve uptime. Her background in embedded and mobile (Qt/QtLocation at Nokia) gives her a practical systems perspective that surfaces elegant, maintainable solutions.
