I work on Kubernetes and multi-cluster orchestration, through open-source development, project maintenance, community leadership, speaking, and writing.
I'm a Karmada maintainer, a Tech Lead for CNCF TAG Workloads Foundation, and a CNCF Ambassador. My Kubernetes work includes approver responsibilities in SIG Instrumentation and SIG Multicluster.
These are the projects and components I actively maintain today, spanning multi-cluster APIs and orchestration, Kubernetes instrumentation, cloud-provider integrations, and sandbox runtimes.
