Bio

I am a CEO, software engineer, tech author, speaker, and ex-professor. I am a founding member of dozens of Open Source projects including: Helm, CNAB, Krustlet, Brigade, Open Application Model, Glide, the PHP HTML5 parser, and QueryPath. I have contributed to over 200 open source projects spanning a dozen programming languages. I've published several books since 2004, most recently ''Learning Helm'' (O'Reilly, 2020), ''Go in Practice'' (Mannning, 2017) and ''The Illustrated Children's Guide to Kubernetes'' (CNCF) series. I write technical articles on a regular basis. When I have a chance, I enjoy speaking at conferences. I have taught graduate and undergraduate courses in both Computer Science and Philosophy. I am on the editorial board of the Journal of Science Fiction and Philosophy. Nothing makes me happier than working on an awesome team.
