DevOps Engineer and Tech Lead of the CNCF TAG Infrastructure.
Be like water. Adapt to the system. Find the path.
- I'm currently working on:
- GPU virtualization on Kubernetes with Project HAMi
- CUDA and GPU architecture with CUDA, step by step
- IaC and zero-trust IAM with OpenTofu, Keycloak and Vault
- I write on Medium (real clusters, real output, no fluff) and Substack (no AI-generated noise)
- Find me on Linktree
- If you like my work, you can sponsor me
siltide: One terminal for every accelerator, down to the pod.
CUDA, step by step: Plain-English CUDA lessons with interactive diagrams.
