About Me

Over the past decade, my passion has been designing, building and improving platforms that empower developers and businesses. My interests extend beyond technology into socio-technical architecture, allowing me to approach platform improvements with a holistic and systemic perspective.

I actively contribute to Open Source Software, particularly in the Kubernetes ecosystem and in the past to Gentoo Linux, where I have packaged and maintained a wide range of software. Notable projects, I currently maintain are:

  • kube-state-metrics: A Kubernetes add-on that generates and exposes cluster state as Prometheus metrics.
  • kube-router: A Kubernetes Container Network Interface (CNI) solution.
  • mark: A tool that facilitates publishing Markdown content into Confluence.

When coding, my preferred language is Go.
