about donaldh

A veteran software engineer working at Red Hat where I explore and evangelise emerging technologies, with a focus on all things security.

I am currently the Security Team Lead in the Office of the CTO, Emerging Technologies team.

I write articles for the Red Hat Developer blog when I can:

• eBPF application development: Beyond the basics
• Why you should use io_uring for network I/O

I am a maintainer of the YNL library and Netlink specifications that live in the Linux kernel git repository.

I am a bit of a Raku fanboy and contribute to Raku projects when I can.

My past activities at Red Hat have included:

• Linux kernel networking
• Netlink specifications and YNL
• eBPF

I used to work in the telecom industry, where I was involved with a variety of internal and open source projects.
