Luca Cavallin

Software Engineer
GitHub

Senior Software Engineer at GitHub Actions. I focus on platform engineering - building distributed systems and the infrastructure and networking tooling behind reliable, observable cloud-native workloads. I work primarily in Go across Kubernetes, containers, networking, and end-to-end observability. I'm interested in Rust and eBPF as a path to safer, higher-throughput platforms with kernel-level insight and control. I'm also exploring AI engineering and its applications in this space.

Beyond my core focus, I've worked in React/TypeScript frontends, data engineering and Google Cloud. Previously I consulted, delivered hands-on training, hosted podcasts, and organized meetups. I contribute to open source and share what I learn through blog posts and talks. I'm a Google Developer Expert (GDE) and a CNCF Ambassador.

For a deeper dive, see my blog. If you're new to open source, check out Verto.sh. For mentorship, I'm on Mentorcruise. Outside of work, activities like photography, motorcycling, playing a handpan and cleaning litterboxes keep me occupied 🐈.
