Ibrahim Onogu is a Staff Software Engineer based in the Netherlands with 11 years’ experience designing and operating high-throughput, SOx-compliant Identity and Access Management systems for distributed environments. He has led Booking.com's IAM strategy and implemented SPIFFE-based workload authentication and federation, while contributing major runtime and performance optimizations to a policy engine handling millions of authz requests per minute. A polyglot with deep C++, Java and Go expertise, he blends low-level skills (template metaprogramming, lock-free and high-performance C++) with pragmatic cloud-native engineering (Kubernetes, observability, sidecars). He teaches modern C++ and mentors engineers, and uniquely combines a mechanical engineering background with production security work—he even reads the ISO C++ standard for fun. Known for preferring simple, reliable solutions that align with business goals, he also composes piano and acoustic guitar in his spare time.
