I've spent my career at the intersection of infrastructure and community. After Lead SRE at Walt Disney Studios and Developer Advocate at HashiCorp, I joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation as Head of Ecosystem, working with Apple, Mercedes-Benz, and JPMorgan Chase on cloud native adoption.
I started Zero to Merge and the End User Technical Advisory Board at CNCF to help more people get involved in open source.
I was Kubernetes 1.19 Release Lead in 2020, extending support windows and scheduling contributor breaks during a rough year. I also led SIG Docs for four years, helping scale Kubernetes documentation.
Now at Dosu, I'm helping maintainers spend less time on triage and more time on the work they actually care about.
Bringing Dosu's AI-powered documentation capabilities to the entire CNCF ecosystem. Launched at KubeCon North America 2025 in Atlanta.
