Hi, I’m Ivan De Marino — a Staff Software Engineer and long-time open-source contributor.

I spend most of my time working on systems close to data: databases, streaming platforms, storage engines, and the tooling around them. I care deeply about building software that is reliable, understandable, and practical in production environments.

My open-source work includes maintaining and contributing to projects in areas such as:

• Data processing and analytics
• Database internals and integrations
• Developer tooling and libraries
• Performance and correctness improvements

Sponsoring my work helps me dedicate more time to maintaining existing projects, reviewing contributions, improving documentation, and exploring new ideas that benefit the wider engineering community.

If my work has been useful to you or your organization, your support is genuinely appreciated.
