<p>To better understand Kubernetes, I gave myself a challenge: set up a Kubernetes cluster where all components, from DNS to image delivery and node discovery, were self-hosted. The setup prioritized local control and independence from external systems.</p>

Kubernetes

Dendron


I solve infrastructure problems that don't have documented solutions.

I've built production Kubernetes on bare metal with custom observability (full LGTM stack), 
migrated workloads across CPU architectures, and revived abandoned open-source tooling 
by rewriting its build system. Most of my work involves distributed systems, 
production reliability, and the kind of operational complexity where "just use the 
managed service" isn't an option.

~10 years building this stuff. Free and open-source source software enthusiast.
