I am a software engineer, currently employed by Xebia, working on cloud-native platforms, developer experience, and building scalable, secure systems. These days, most of my time is spent on Kubernetes, Go, Terraform, and language design.

Before joining Xebia, I worked at HashiCorp, focusing on Terraform. My focus was Terraform’s plugin ecosystem, improving providers and backends that store Terraform state. I contributed features such as S3-native locking, ephemeral resources and plugin testing capabilities.

Prior to HashiCorp, I worked at various startups and companies as a platform and software engineer, building distributed systems and platforms in teams of all sizes, often in cloud-native environments.

I am also an active open-source maintainer and serve as a technical lead in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) TAG Infrastructure group, which oversees projects like Cilium and etcd.

My focus is making things simpler in software, systems, and delivery. I believe in minimizing waste and optimizing for joy. With a background in platform design, distributed systems, and software engineering, I find joy in contributing to open-source projects and have a deep passion for infrastructure and configuration management, as well as designing languages, writing lexers, and building parsers.

Thinking about the magic that makes our world work brings me joy, and I’m always looking for ways to improve it.
