Joey G Salazar

Software Engineer

As a software developer focused on DNS, censorship circumvention, privacy and anonymity, I am heavily invested in open source and count with experience in building strategies for SDO engagement. I strive to join teams committed to upstream contributions, Internet Standards, community participation, and a heathy Internet ecosystem.

Projects: OpenRefine extension for Wikidata written in Java, where I refactored the existing codebase, added tests, and built its Commons extension from scratch; Git's dissector in Wireshark written in C and Python, where I refactored tests, added base functionality, testing, and HTTPS support; BIND's authoritative and recursive DNS server in C, where I worked on migrating the unit test suit from atf to cmocka, and expanded base functionality by modifying output parsing; a proprietary online inspection system in fullstack Java that provides management of test data with error handling control, user access management, machine and network status management, order management, and results report generation.

Some achievements to date:

  • Co-authoring an IETF RFC
  • Contributing to standardization processes at the IETF/W3C and mentoring fellows on SDO engagement
  • Becoming fluent in a third language
  • Becoming the recipient of a full scholarship for academic excellence to study Software Engineering abroad
  • Certifying in CCNA and Linux+ through self learning
  • Being a top performer for CSat and ART metrics
