As a Principal Software Engineer on the OpenShift Virtualization team and working on KubeVirt, I specialize in simplifying and automating the user experience of running VMs on Kubernetes. I lead the development of core features like Instancetypes, Preferences, and VM templating systems, which are fundamental to making our platform intuitive and powerful. A key part of my mission is bridging virtualization with modern automation, which I accomplished by creating and maintaining the official Ansible Collection for KubeVirt.
