OSS

Open Source Software has shaped my career. Over the years, I’ve contributed as a maintainer, project leader, conference organizer, and speaker while building tools used by communities and organizations around the world. Here are some of my contributions.

Project

Updatecli

Updatecli is an open source automation tool that I created to continuously update software dependencies, infrastructure, and configuration. It automatically opens pull requests when upstream releases occur and has evolved into a universal update policy engine used across multiple organizations.

Jenkins Infrastructure Officer: 2019 → 2021

As Jenkins Infrastructure Officer, I led initiatives that operated and evolved the services used by the Jenkins community and contributors. I was also involved in project governance and outreach activities.

Conference

Technical conferences are one of the best ways to meet new people, so if you spot me in one of those, feel free to say "Hi", I am also there for that.

Attendee

My area of interest is everything related to open source and infrastructure. In the past, I attended events like Fosdem, Kubecon, Devoxxx, Jenkins/Devops World, CDcon, cfgmgmnt camp, DevOps Days, etc.

Organisor

When you can’t reach a community that shares your interest, sometimes the best way is to make that community come to you by organizing something that will gather them. In the past, I helped to organize "Jenkins area meetups" and the FOSDEM CI/CD Devroom.

Speaker

I enjoy sharing what I’ve learned and regularly speak at conferences, community events, and meetups.
