Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSebastien Boeuf is a virtualization software engineer with 11 years of experience building and integrating secure VM-based runtimes for cloud-native platforms. He has driven kernel-to-firmware work across Cloud Hypervisor, NEMU and Kata Containers—contributing QEMU integration, ACPI/SMBIOS firmware support and runtime lifecycle improvements for projects used widely in container and VMM ecosystems. At Intel and Rivos he focused on bringing VM-level isolation to container workflows and improving CI, testing and hotplug/networking reliability; he now continues that trajectory at Meta. Comfortable across backend, DevOps and low-level firmware, he combines systems architecture with hands-on patches that span QMP APIs, ACPI tables and CI pipelines. An attention to edge cases shows up in his test and timeout tuning for integration suites—small changes that materially increase reliability in large open-source projects.
