Christophe de Dinechin works at Red Hat primarily on Kata Containers and its integration into OpenShift. He also has a strong interest in virtualisation, performance, programming languages, 3D graphics and physics research. He started numerous free software projects of various size and complexity, including a real-time 3D graphics presentation tool (Tao3D), a programmer extensible programming language (XL), an autoconfiguration build system using only GNU make (make-it-quick), a flight recorder for C and C++ programs (recorder). He also contributed to many other software projects, both free and non-free. In a previous life, he notably produced HP's first native Itanium C++ compiler, started the HPVM project that became HP's commercial Itanium virtualisation platform, and was the software architect of the DxO ONE camera.
