Charalampos Mainas
Charalampos (Babis) Mainas is a systems engineer, mostly interested in the lower levels of the systems stack, mainly in Hypervisor and OS level, where he can easily create kernel oops. He had the chance to dive into the two most well-used hypervisors (KVM, Xen). Morevoer, he started exploring the area of hardware acceleration in order to provide an efficient and secure virtualization solution for devices (GPUs, FPGAs).
A significant part of his time has been spent in Unikernels, porting applications, libraries, language runtimes, and in general, trying to make them more friendly and adaptable to the real world. In the past year, he started working in the level of container runtimes and container building technologies, where he mostly focuses on the intersection of unikernel with the container ecosystem (building and deployment).
