I'm focused on getting companies to the high-performing levels. I do most of my work on AWS, with Serverless and Containers. I have an intense focus on observability and developer velocity, and I spend most of my time lifting people up.

- My "Scaling containers on AWS" blog series: started in 2020 with a blog post, continued with a 2021 re:Invent talk available on YouTube, and now updated with a huge blog post for 2022
- My surprisingly popular flowchart: "How should I run containers on AWS"? that tries to compress a bunch of knowledge into an easily understandable way
- My "Fixing EKS DNS" blog post shined a light on NodeLocalDNS, making running Kubernetes clusters at scale way easier. Due to the incredible k8s community, most of this was merged in the upstream documentation
💕 - If you want a glimpse into how much of a golden retriever I am, check out my "Accidentally a hacker" blog post which tells the story of how my passion and energy was combined with alcohol and led to accidentally hacking GitHub
