Og Maciel's Journal

Reflections on technology, reading, life, and everything in between

Welcome to my journal! I’m a Software Engineering Senior Manager at Red Hat, author of several books, and passionate about open source, reading, and writing.

Here you’ll find my thoughts on technology, leadership, books I’m reading, and life experiences. I also share my writing through my Substack newsletter and have published books on software quality engineering and personal development.

Feel free to explore my posts, check out my books, or learn more about me.
