Hi, I'm a contributor in the Kubernetes ecosystem living in Minneapolis, MN. I work on kOps where I'm a maintainer, helping lead the project and engage with the community on GitHub and the Kubernetes Slack workspace. kOps is a popular cluster lifecycle management solution for Kubernetes on various cloud providers, with over 12,000 ⭐ on GitHub.

Some kOps projects I'm currently working on:

• Expanding the OS distribution support
• Assisting with adding Azure support
• Improving our end-to-end test coverage across our complex matrix of supported components and cluster management operations

A long term goal is to support Cluster API, allowing the reuse of established patterns for defining the cloud-provider components of a Kubernetes cluster.

Balancing these tasks while also fielding bug reports and support requests is a big time commitment. Sponsorship helps me invest time giving back to the kOps users and Kubernetes community!

Outside of Kubernetes, I also maintain a NCAA March Madness tournament bracket picking website at algebracket.com 🏀. This interactive bracket picker allows you to decide the weight of various team statistics in determining a matchup's outcome. Comparing the accuracy of previous seasons' results leads to a more-informed decision for picking the current season's seeds.

Any and all feedback is welcome 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!

Peter
