Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolManos Pitsidianakis is a software engineer with 26 years of experience focused on emulation and virtualization, currently contributing to virtio device work in upstream projects such as QEMU and rust-vmm at Linaro. He combines a deep interest in low-level systems with a passion for strong type systems, applying type-driven design to areas like device emulation and memory-safe interfaces. His background includes compiler work, database internals, microVM workloads, and lightweight distributed storage, and he helped ship Wasmer 3.0 with cross-compilation and packaging of compiled WASM into native executables. A history of freelance projects—custom filesystems, Raft-based distributed designs, WALs, and custom libc—shows practical systems-building breadth beyond typical virtualization roles. He’s an active open-source contributor (notably improving Wasmer’s C API stability and QEMU I/O throttling) and holds an MEng in Electrical and Computer Engineering from NTUA, based in Athens.
