Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFabio Di Nitto is a Senior Principal Software Engineer based in Copenhagen with 18 years of experience designing and maintaining high-availability cluster systems, OpenStack scalability, and advanced networking. At Red Hat he has combined hands-on core development, release and integration management, and people leadership—moving between individual contributor roles and managing top HA teams. Deep C expertise, decades of packaging and build-tool mastery (Make, autotools, toolchain) and a history with major distributions and projects (Debian, Canonical) make him a go-to for stability and release-quality work. He is an active open-source maintainer on critical cluster projects such as Corosync and ClusterLabs’ fence- and resource-agents, where he modernized build systems, fixed memory leaks and hard crashes, and improved logging and maintainability. His background as an air-defence controller and early network operator informs a disciplined, systems-first approach to operational robustness and fast incident decisions. Always curious, he still enjoys tackling complex build and integration challenges that most engineers avoid.
