André Martins

Software Engineer

André is a Software Engineer at Isovalent and a co-creator and co-maintainer of Cilium, the open-source project that leverages eBPF to enable secure, high-performance networking, observability, and enforcement in cloud native environments. His work has been central to Cilium’s evolution from early prototype to a widely adopted foundation for cloud native infrastructure.

He began his open source journey through a Linux Foundation internship, contributing to the OpenDaylight project to simplify network deployment. Since then, he has contributed to key technologies such as Kubernetes and Docker, with a continued focus on containers, orchestration, and GitHub Actions.

André has spoken at CNCF events and remains active in the open source ecosystem through both code and community engagement.
