Systems Engineer | Kubernetes Orchestrator
Engineering the bridge between high-performance hardware and cloud-native orchestration.
Specializing in Sovereign Infrastructure and Deterministic Edge Compute. building memory-safe systems in Rust, orchestrate distributed workloads via Kubernetes, and explore the future of sandboxed execution with WebAssembly (Wasm).
| Category | Technologies |
|---|---|
| Safe Systems | Rust (Tokio, Cargo), WebAssembly (Wasm/WASI), Go, Python, Bash |
| Orchestration | Kubernetes (Control Plane, K3s, Helm), Docker, Containerd |
| Infrastructure | Terraform, GitHub Actions (CI/CD), Linux (RHEL/Ubuntu), eBPF (Aya) |
| Networking | WireGuard, TCP/IP, DNS, Prometheus/Grafana, L3/L4 Protocol Engineering |
A high-performance execution environment built in Rust for running sandboxed WebAssembly modules. Focused on sub-millisecond cold starts and WASI compliance for edge environments.
A custom Kubernetes Controller (Operator) written in Rust using kube-rs. Automates the reconciliation of specialized infrastructure nodes and demonstrates deep-dive knowledge of the K8s API Server.
A Linux observability agent using eBPF (via the Aya library in Rust) to monitor kernel-level syscalls. Streams real-time performance telemetry to a Prometheus time-series database.
Automated bare-metal provisioning using Terraform and GitHub Actions. Enables "Zero-Touch" infrastructure deployments from BIOS configuration to a fully initialized K3s cluster.
Centered on cloud-native engineering, gravitating toward the unique challenges of specialized, sovereign environments:
- OTEC Compute Hulls: Designing "thermal-aware" Kubernetes scheduling synchronized with the energy cycles of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC).
- Maritime TSN: Leveraging Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) to eliminate jitter in submersible AI control loops.
- Deterministic AI Edge: Deploying ultra-low-power Wasm-Native AI modules for remote maritime sensor arrays.
