I currently work on the Compute team which builds and runs the company's Kubernetes platform. I focus on workload (pod) autoscaling and node lifecycle automation. I design k8s controllers to handle pod autoscaling and pod evictions across multiple clusters in multiple clouds and support our engineers with our platform adoption and troubleshooting.

• Built Kubernetes controller in Go to automatically clean up unused cloudresources saving compute time and more than $50k/month
