Cyril Tovena is a software engineer at Grafana Labs, based in Montréal, Canada, working primarily on open-source, distributed systems like Loki and Cortex, with contributions focused on performance optimization and integrations. He is also involved with other projects, such as Agones, which scales game servers on Kubernetes. In his free time, Cyril enjoys playing video games and soccer with his son, hiking, and skating with his dog, and he prefers to code while listening to folk or indie music. A fan of technology, he appreciates his 4k Retina iMac and recently binge-watched Stranger Things 3. Cyril humorously cites being a dad as his superhero power and admits to favoring tabs in coding, although tools like gofmt make formatting simpler.
