intro: |
  I'm a <strong>platform engineer</strong> working at <a href="https://giantswarm.io">Giant Swarm</a> working on building managed Kubernetes solutions and related projects. My area of focus in recent years has been around Go, ⎈ Kubernetes, containers and DevOps but originally started out as a <em>web developer</em> and <em>JavaScript enthusiast</em>. I'm a “tinkerer” and like to dabble with 3D printing and experimenting with smart home tech.
