I am a Software Engineer at Red Hat AI, building production data-processing infrastructure on Kubernetes and OpenShift. I work across Apache Spark, Kubeflow, distributed document processing, secure multi-tenant operators, and observability.
An M.S. in Robotics & AI and hands-on work in LiDAR, computer vision, autonomous systems, and GPS/IMU sensor fusion give me a robotics foundation for designing observable, failure-aware systems.
I am a reviewer for the Kubeflow Spark Operator, contributing code, design, and reviews across deployment, reliability, security, multi-tenancy, and scheduling.
Starting with making Kustomize a complete, first-class deployment method alongside Helm, I built and validated the deployment path with the same Go E2E suite and added semantic drift checks to keep both packaging methods aligned. From there, I tightened least-privilege RBAC, hardened controller-runtime caches against memory-exhaustion failures, introduced namespace-scoped webhook controls for multi-tenant clusters, and improved Kubernetes Event reliability.
At Red Hat AI, I extended that work into OpenShift AI and Open Data Hub by moving Spark Operator integration to an out-of-tree module, adding resilience and E2E coverage, and building configurable namespace scope, Prometheus access, and operator/webhook NetworkPolicies. My current upstream work focuses on Kubernetes-native workload-aware scheduling, reliable events and observability, and a stronger Spark/Kubeflow developer experience.

I help shape SparkClient's production API through design review and community work. I am also a CNCF LFX mentor for Evolving SparkClient into Kubeflow's Unified Data Processing Layer—extending the path from raw data to trained models with observability, scheduled and streaming execution, and Spark-to-Trainer workflows.
