Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRaphael Silva is an Open Source Engineer based in São Paulo with 11 years of experience focused on runtime and cloud-native security. Currently contributing to Tracee and libbpfgo at Aqua Security, he bridges kernel-space eBPF/C work with Go userland tooling to improve real-time detection and forensics on Linux. As a founding engineer at Pod8 he designed identity-defined mesh networking and implemented protocols like QUIC/HTTP3, bringing practical experience in TLS, certificates, and large-scale distributed systems. His background includes eBPF/XDP, kernel security, SPIFFE/SPIRE integrations, and offensive security research—giving him a rare perspective that spans low-level systems, container internals, and threat-oriented testing. Raphael pairs academic training in information security with hands-on open-source leadership, often translating research-grade techniques into production-ready tooling.
