Hello, there! 👋🏻

My name is Borja, and I grew up surrounded by computers. The first OS I used was MS-DOS as kid, in a really old Olivetti M380 XP3 80386. I loved since the very beggining changing batch and system files, just to see what would happen if I change this thing I don't event understand. Those were fun times for my father.

Eventually I fell in love with operating systems and opensource development.

Nowadays, my key expertise areas are Red Hat OpenShift, Kubernetes, programming and automation & CI/CD. And I still love kernel and networking problems, as debugging complex low-level stuff is my main passion.

My current role is Principal Software Engineer@Red Hat, where I'm mainly focused in the architecture and developing of software pieces focused in OpenShift, Kubernetes, container runtimes, bugfixing and contributing in whatever project I stumble upon.

I guess I just perform some software engineer stuff.

In my free time I like to...

• Spend time with my wife, son and family is my key priority!
• Healthy living: gym rat, meditation, hiking and dieting with a goal in mind.
• Board games: wargaming, strategy, horror or dungeon crawlers... I'm just addicted to them all.
• Video games: currently playing Dead Cells.
• Learning and hacking: I just can't stop and whenever I have some free time I continue my learning process. Currently learning Rust.

Goodbye!
