I've spoken at major industry events, including LinuxCon, Open-Source Summit, KubeCon + CloudNativeCon, FOSDEM, and more. My presentations primarily focus on open-source projects I'm involved in. Here's a timeline of my public speaking engagements:

Long Bio​

Mauro Morales is a Staff Engineer at Spectro Cloud working on the operating system foundations of modern cloud-native infrastructure, focusing on how Linux systems are designed, upgraded, and operated in distributed and edge environments.

Over the years, he has worked across the backend stack on systems that engineers rely on every day — from building data infrastructure at Telefónica, to developing Linux system tooling at SUSE, to contributing to infrastructure-platform interfaces within Cloud Foundry. He has worked on CI/CD runtime platforms at CodeShip, performance engineering at Babel, and numerous production web systems. His work consistently sits close to the parts of the stack where reliability and operational correctness matter most.

Within the CNCF ecosystem, Mauro is a maintainer and advocate of Kairos, a CNCF Sandbox project focused on rethinking how Linux distributions are built and managed. He also co-hosts the Cloud Native Brussels community group and is a member of the TAG Workloads Foundation.

Originally from Guatemala, Mauro now lives in Belgium with his family. Outside of engineering, he trains for long-distance running — a practical counterweight to Belgian chocolate and fries.
