Ugo Giordano
Senior Software Engineer, Ph.D.
Platform security engineer at Red Hat, working on OpenShift AI. I find vulnerabilities in Kubernetes operators, build libraries to fix them structurally, and create AI-powered tooling for security analysis at scale. Previously at Nokia Bell Labs researching SDN reliability.
Featured Projects
operator-security-runtime
Found a CVSS 9.1 privilege escalation across RHOAI operators. Built a Go library that replaces cluster-wide permissions with per-namespace scoped Roles, validated with a 200-trial performance framework.
Operator Chaos
Chaos engineering framework for Kubernetes operators. Injects faults into controller reconciliation loops to validate resilience and recovery behavior.
PipeClear
Two-layer ML pipeline validation for OpenShift AI. Catches broken pipelines at compile time (Python KFP plugin) and at admission time (Go webhook). Presented at the KFP Community Call.
AI Bug Automation Readiness
Assesses whether repos are ready for AI agents to autonomously find and fix bugs. 20 checks across 135+ repos, auto-updating weekly report. Applied to 4 repos with +10 to +28 point improvements.
