Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat who maintained OpenStack Octavia and developed its Kubernetes Operator.

At Red Hat GmbH, I was a Core Developer and Maintainer for OpenStack Octavia, contributing bug fixes, reviews, and features including vertical scaling optimizations, a failover circuit breaker, and client rate limiting. I also engineered a Go-based Kubernetes Operator to automate Octavia’s deployment and lifecycle management.

At Dialog Semiconductor GmbH, I led engineering for a semiconductor lifetime testing platform, from initial concept to global rollout, cutting operational costs by 50%. I also architected its distributed software platform and designed automated integration and HIL testing frameworks.
