I have 7 years of experience in DevOps / Platform / Site Reliability Engineering. I'm a maintainer of Kops (a Kubernetes cluster management tool) and have years of experience building and maintaining self-serve CI-based solutions for Kubernetes clusters and cloud resource management with Terraform. I've worked to significantly improve reliability of high volume services (>15k req/sec) and their underlying infrastructure. I've helped reduce outage frequency and impact while also reducing lead time on infrastructure needs through automation and the aforementioned self-serve solutions. I can facilitate engineering team growth by helping establish infrastructure patterns for success.

They're addressing the lack of service accounts, targeted for 13.1:
