eBPF Steering Committee

Brendan Gregg is an internationally renowned expert in computing performance. Previously a leader of performance engineering at Netflix, where he did performance design, evaluation, analysis, and tuning. He authored Systems Performance and BPF Performance Tools in the Addison-Wesley professional computing series, and received the USENIX LISA Outstanding Achievement award. Previously among the top performance experts at Sun Microsystems, he has delivered industry-leading performance for a variety of products. He has also created widely used performance tools, methodologies, and visualizations, including flame graphs, and pioneered eBPF as an observability technology. His work has saved the industry over US$1B, and has been the basis for multiple startups.

Daniel Borkmann co-created eBPF and is a kernel developer at Isovalent working on all things eBPF, the Linux kernel and Cilium’s networking datapath. He is a long-term Linux kernel core contributor in the eBPF and networking subsystem for over a decade, and co-maintains both eBPF and XDP.

Joe is a co-maintainer for the Cilium project. He’s passionate about building efficient network dataplanes, having contributed to a variety of OSS projects including Cilium, Open vSwitch, and the Linux kernel.

KP Singh is the author and maintainer of the mainline eBPF LSM (a.k.a KRSI) for flexible security audit and policy enforcement on Linux. At Google, he leads the effort to build telemetry and detection software deployed on Google’s corp, prod and cloud endpoints spanning different operating systems. He’s also the cross functional lead for the security of linux OS deployed in Google’s data centers.

Andrii is a Software Engineer in Facebook’s Linux kernel team. He’s a co-maintainer of BPF kernel tree and libbpf library, and focuses on BPF usability, CO-RE, and tracing applications.
