I build resilient, secure and automated platforms on Kubernetes, the operating system for modern infrastructure.
I’ve been breaking and fixing infrastructure since before Kubernetes even existed. I came from virtualization, then Kubernetes broke down the old boundaries of infrastructure and expanded them in one fell swoop. Today, I’m there where virtualization and Kubernetes collide, fascinated by KubeVirt and Kubernetes controller internals.
I work with engineering teams that have outgrown their initial Kubernetes setup and need someone who can redesign it without starting over. And with teams earlier on, who’d rather build on solid foundations than refactor later.
Engineering teams bring me in when they need someone who can design, build, operate, and teach; not just close tickets.
Depending on what a team needs, that looks like:
- Hands-on platform engineering
Building or extending a Kubernetes platform, GitOps pipelines, multi-tenancy, policy enforcement, supply chain security, VM workloads with KubeVirt - Architecture and advisory
A focused engagement before a major platform decision: a migration, a multi-cluster expansion, a tooling choice that will be hard to undo - Training
Structured Kubernetes training for platform and engineering teams, from foundational concepts to production-grade operations
Platforms are no longer built only for humans. I design them for the agents coming next, without loosening the guardrails that keep them safe.
I like to understand things from the inside out. I’ve never been satisfied with knowing that something works, I want to know why. When documentation runs out, I read the source. That’s how I’ve always worked, and it’s why teams trust me with the parts of a platform that are hard to get right.
My production experience spans nearly two decades across fintech, enterprise, and service providers, from network engineering to platform design, and most of the layers in between.
I contribute technical content to LearnKube and write about platform engineering and cloud-native architecture on this blog.
