Hi, I'm Thomas ๐Ÿ‘‹

Cloud & Edge Architect ยท I build Kubernetes platforms that reach from multi-cluster cloud all the way down to fleets of IoT devices at the edge.

By day I design large-scale observability for connected device fleets. By night I run a homelab that's slightly too serious, pull aircraft out of thin air with an SDR, and write games in Rust.


โ˜ธ๏ธ Kubernetes & Platform Engineering

  • Multi-cluster fleet management โ€” Rancher, EKS, many downstream clusters
  • Custom Kubernetes operators and controllers to automate the boring parts
  • Infrastructure as Code with Terraform / OpenTofu and Terragrunt
  • Cloud-to-edge observability: getting telemetry from thousands of devices into something useful

๐Ÿ“ก IoT & Edge

  • Edge workloads on constrained hardware, where "just restart the pod" isn't always an option
  • ADS-B / Mode-S โ€” decoding 1090 MHz aircraft signals with software-defined radio โœˆ๏ธ

๐Ÿ  Homelab

My house is my staging environment.

  • Network: UniFi Dream Machine SE, VLAN-segmented, IPv6 on fiber, WireGuard on-demand VPN
  • DNS: AdGuard Home with DNS-over-HTTPS, local split-horizon resolution behind a reverse proxy
  • Compute: Proxmox VE, with a 3-node Talos Linux + Ceph Kubernetes cluster on the drawing board
  • Power: rack UPS with NUT for graceful shutdowns
  • Smart home: Home Assistant as the brain โ€” Zigbee2MQTT, Shelly, ESPHome BLE proxies, Matter/Thread, plus custom integrations, Lovelace cards and e-paper dashboards

๐ŸŽฎ Games

  • C++ and Rust/Bevy โ€” currently building a 4X strategy game
