Joey G Salazar

Software Engineer

As a software developer focused on DNS, censorship circumvention, privacy and anonymity, I am invested in open source and have experience in building strategies for SDO engagement. I actively contribute to teams focused on upstream contributions, Internet Standards, 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-authored an IETF RFC
  • Contributed to standardization processes at the IETF/W3C and mentored fellows on SDO engagement
  • Developed multilingual proficiency
  • Awarded full scholarship for academic excellence
  • Certified in CCNA and Linux+ through self learning
  • Achieved top performer status for CSat and ART metrics
