I am a software engineer, currently employed by Just Eat Takeaway.com, working on cloud-native platforms and distributed systems. These days most of my time is spent on Kubernetes, Go, and building platforms that process billions of events daily.

Before that, 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. I also led a high-performing team and was responsible for open-source community engagements.

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 contributor and serve as a Technical Lead in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) TAG Infrastructure, where I help guide and evaluate cloud-native infrastructure projects across all maturity levels: Sandbox, Incubating, and Graduated.

My focus is making things simpler in software, systems, and delivery. I believe in minimizing waste and optimizing for developer 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, configuration management, Kubernetes, DNS, networking, and language design (lexers and parsers).

For programming, I gravitate toward Go, Zig, and C#.

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