Hi, I’m Diego — a software engineer, diver, and aspiring electronic music producer/DJ.

I'm from Colombia 🇨🇴 living in Berlin 🇩🇪.

I currently work as a contractor Software Engineer at Goodyear.

Here I share my tech experiments and projects across eBPF, distributed systems, performance engineering, backend development, compilers, containers and AI. I also document my journey through ocean expeditions and conservation.

You can find me on Twitter, GitHub and LinkedIn
