Mattia Meleleo is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building backend systems, currently focused at Coralogix after senior roles at Elastic and Hetzner Cloud. He combines deep systems and security knowledge—stemming from an early background in penetration testing—with practical expertise in eBPF and observability, having contributed to high-profile open-source projects like Elastic Beats and cilium/ebpf. His work on Auditbeat’s file integrity monitoring and implementing an eBPF backend demonstrates a knack for low-level instrumentation, performance-minded refactors, and improving testability. Comfortable across cloud infrastructure and security-focused tooling, he repeatedly shapes production-grade telemetry and kernel-space integrations. Based in the Greater Lecce area, he blends an engineering degree from Politecnico di Torino with hands-on open-source collaboration to solve complex, observable systems problems.
