Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThales Paiva is a senior software engineer with over a decade of experience building mission-critical and embedded systems across aerospace, defense, and cloud-native security. He combines deep systems knowledge—operating systems, real-time programming, cryptography, and network protocols—with hands-on expertise in C, C++, Go and kernel/eBPF work to deliver secure, high-integrity solutions. His background spans end-to-end responsibilities from hardware bring-up and protocol design to cloud microservices, Kubernetes and service-mesh implementations. He has applied that skillset in international, high-pressure settings (including NATO’s Locked Shields exercise) and in founding roles focused on identity-defined mesh networks and QUIC/HTTP3 protocol work. Pragmatic about engineering trade-offs, he blends R&D curiosity with production-grade delivery and active open-source collaboration on projects like cilium and KubeArmor. Based in São Paulo, he thrives at the intersection of embedded security and cloud-native observability.
