Senior Software Engineer | Kubernetes & Platform Engineering
I build Kubernetes-native platforms, infrastructure software, and automation for complex production environments.
My work sits at the intersection of software engineering, platform engineering, and site reliability engineering, with a focus on Go, Kubernetes APIs, Crossplane, declarative infrastructure, GitOps, distributed systems, and production reliability.
I'm particularly interested in building platforms as products: turning recurring infrastructure problems into reusable APIs and self-service capabilities while keeping the underlying systems reliable, observable, testable, and operable.
- Kubernetes-native engineering — APIs, operators, controllers, reconciliation, and lifecycle automation
- Control planes — Crossplane, composition functions, declarative infrastructure APIs, and platform capabilities
- Platform engineering — self-service infrastructure, internal developer platforms, and GitOps workflows
- Reliability engineering — observability, distributed systems, incident response, and production operations
- Kubernetes testing — Go testing, Kyverno Chainsaw, lifecycle validation, and integration testing
- Software supply chain — reproducible container builds, vulnerability reduction, dependency automation, and secure delivery
A collection of reproducible, rootless, multi-architecture container images focused on reducing vulnerability exposure and improving software supply-chain automation.
Built with technologies including apko, melange, Wolfi, Alpine Linux, GitHub Actions, and Renovate.
Reusable Terraform modules for provisioning virtual machines, images, and networking on Harvester HCI.
The project focuses on exposing repeatable infrastructure primitives through reusable infrastructure-as-code modules.
