A Debian Developer and Open Source enthusiast, Marga has been working with Linux for over 15 years. Back in her hometown of Buenos Aires she led a large migration to Linux and open source tools. Doing this job, she learned to navigate the tricky line between satisfying user needs and keeping the software stack in good shape.

Before joining Kinvolk, she worked as an SRE at Google, in the team maintaining the internal Linux distribution used by Google engineers. There, she led the development of many automation tools, allowing the team to keep tens of thousands of computers updated and secure. She’s grown used to thinking about large scale issues and focusing on the most impactful things to automate.
