Biography
One of the Conectiva founders, he was one of the lead developers of Conectiva Linux.
Worked on internationalization (i18n) of many free software tools.
Developed and maintained several Linux kernel drivers.
Maintained several legacy network protocols such as IPX, LLC and Appletalk.
Reworked the Linux kernel TCP stack so that lots of non TCP specific code could then be reused by other transport level protocols.
Developed the first DCCP (Datagram Congestion Control Protocol) protocol implementation to be present in a mainstream kernel.
He is the author of the dwarves set of tools that includes pahole, a tool for analysing data structures used to optimize software such as the GNU libc, GCC, by the CERN Atlas project among many others.
Now works for Red Hat on the Real Time group, working on tooling, being one of the maintainers and major code contributors for the Linux kernel perf events tools.
