Senior🎓
Top SchoolMassimo Maggi is a Systems Engineer (SRE) based in Zurich with 15 years of hands-on experience building and operating reliable infrastructure at scale, currently focusing on site reliability at Google. He blends deep systems and DevOps expertise with a background in web development and sysadmin work from his earlier role at a commercial art agency. An open-source contributor to the widely used OpenZFS project, he has implemented Posix ACL support, fixed quota and ZVOL issues, and made careful memory-allocation changes to prevent I/O deadlocks—work that demonstrates attention to low-level correctness. Trained in Ingegneria Informatica at Politecnico di Milano, he combines academic rigour with pragmatic engineering. Colleagues describe him as a curious "geek" who enjoys expanding his knowledge across systems, storage, and operational tooling.
