Diego Pino
Free software developer. Joined Igalia in 2007. Co-owner.
Shenzhen (China)
I like building tools and contributing to projects that help improve people’s lives.
During my career at Igalia, I have had the opportunity to work in several areas of knowledge: web development, browsers, compilers and networking. Nowadays, I spent most of my time hacking on WebKit, which I have been contributing to since 2013.
In my free time I enjoy reading, cooking and traveling.
