intro: | I'm a platform engineer at Giant Swarm working on building managed Kubernetes solutions, a Civo Ambassador and a CNCF Ambassador. My area of focus in recent years has been around release engineering, Go, ⎈ Kubernetes, containers and DevOps but originally started out as a web developer and JavaScript enthusiast. I'm a “tinkerer” and like to dabble with 3D printing and experimenting with smart home tech.
