Experienced engineer working at Red Hat, with a long-standing passion for open source, system integration, and building trustworthy software ecosystems.
My current interests center on the intersection of AI and security, alongside software supply chain integrity — areas where open collaboration is essential to tackle emerging challenges at scale.
Over the years, I’ve been deeply involved in influential open source communities:
- OpenSSF — Contributing to supply chain security initiatives, including work on GUAC (supply chain knowledge graphs) and the integration of Trustify to enable interoperable metadata ingestion, processing, and visibility.
- Kubernetes / CNCF — Former lead of the IoT Edge working group and active contributor to broader ecosystem efforts around edge computing and cloud-native connectivity.
- Eclipse Foundation — Former Project Lead for Eclipse Hono, advancing scalable IoT and edge connectivity platforms.
- Apache — Early committer and PMC member on Apache ActiveMQ, shaping enterprise messaging and integration solutions used worldwide.
I thrive on bridging technical depth with real-world impact: regularly engaging with customers and partners to understand their needs, translate complex challenges into actionable solutions, and help shape project and product roadmaps. Whether through direct collaboration, conference talks, or working groups, I enjoy driving products and practices that solve practical problems for organizations adopting open source at scale.
I’m the author of ActiveMQ in Action (2011) and Scripting in Java (2007), and a frequent speaker on topics like vulnerability management, supply chain metadata, and open collaboration.
