Senior Software Engineer (Open Source & Go Language Platform) at Datadog
I am a Senior Software Engineer at Datadog, where I create and maintain APM Data Collection and Storage Language Platform in Go. With 20+ years of experience in full-stack development, DevOps, cloud computing, and software architecture, I have the skills and knowledge to deliver high-quality, scalable, and secure solutions for complex problems.
I am also passionate about free software, open source, and civil rights, and I actively contribute to various libraries and projects, such as Mergo, a small library to merge Go structs that is used by 60K repositories on GitHub, including Docker and Kubernetes. As a public speaker on topics related to politics and technology, I aim to empower people and organizations to build and use software that is ethical, reliable, and respectful of human dignity.

En esta consulta ciudadana (no oficial ni vinculante), se permitirá el voto por Internet mediante la plataforma Ágora Voting, ya usada en las primarias de Podemos o la iniciativa Congreso Transparente del partido Compromís. La plataforma AgoraVoting permite autentificación mediante el certificado digital del DNIe.
From http://www.multireferendum.cat/: Multireferèndum 2014 és una convocatòria, de la gent per a la gent, per debatre i decidir sobre qüestions bloquejades en les institucions polítiques. Neix a proposta de Som lo que Sembrem i la Plataforma Aturem el Fracking i ha culminat en una primera onada, durant les setmanes prèvies a les eleccions europees de maig de 2014. Amb ella, cerquem pràctiques que ens portin cap a una democràcia creixent i directa.
