Wainer Moschetta is a seasoned software engineer with nearly a decade of professional experience and over 10 years working on Linux and virtualization stacks in globally distributed teams. Currently at Red Hat, he focuses on CI and automation for virtualization while maintaining a strong track record of open-source contributions to high-profile projects like Logstash and Kata Containers. He blends DevOps, test automation, and build-system expertise—having dockerized services, hardened CI pipelines, and automated QEMU/kernel build processes—to make complex infrastructure reproducible and reliable. Previously he led teams and toolchain efforts at IBM, driving IDE integrations and migration tooling for Linux on POWER. Based in Paraná, Brazil, he pairs hands-on engineering with technical leadership and a pragmatic knack for improving test robustness and build automation that often goes unnoticed in day-to-day operations.
