I’m a CNCF Ambassador and a Senior Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat. I have long-term experience with Kubernetes, streaming, and messaging. Currently, I focus mainly on Apache Kafka and its integration with Kubernetes. I’m one of the co-founders and a lead maintainer of the Strimzi project, which provides tooling for running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes. Before joining Red Hat, I worked as a messaging and solutions architect in the financial industry.
