About Me
A few years ago, I began my journey into cloud-native computing and automation. At first, I was focused on the tech-learning new tools, mastering platforms, and figuring out how to build systems in the cloud-native space. But over time, I realized it’s not just about the tools. It’s about people, systems, and sustainable progress.
Cloud-native computing is about building scalable, reliable systems that run smoothly with minimal manual effort. It’s also about fostering a culture of learning, collaboration, and thoughtful problem-solving. That realization shifted my focus.
I didn’t just want to build systems - I wanted to help people on their path to cloud-native. Since then, I’ve spoken at conferences such as KubeCon and other Cloud Native and DevOps events, led upskilling initiatives and workshops, and contributed to the cloud-native community in governance and maintenance roles.
I’ve always enjoyed discovering how things work - diving deep into systems, tools, and processes. That curiosity continues to fuel my work today. I'm a strong believer in lifelong learning, and I aim to pass that same enthusiasm and mindset on to my students and workshop participants.
With TSC Labs, I bring that energy and focus to every engagement - helping people and teams build systems they understand and trust, while growing their confidence along the way.
Why TSC Labs?
I founded TSC Labs as a vendor-neutral, training-first company with one core belief:
Training should serve the people, not the product.
My focus is on education that lasts - helping you and your team build the skills and context to solve problems long after the session ends.
I design hands-on, instructor-led training around your team’s real-world needs. I prefer on-site sessions, where collaboration happens naturally, questions flow freely, and solutions are shaped together.
Having transitioned from a traditional systems engineering background into cloud-native work, I know firsthand how challenging - and rewarding - that journey can be. That experience shapes how I teach: with empathy, clarity, and deep respect for where each learner is starting from.
Helping people to make that transition - and seeing them grow into confident, curious problem-solvers - is one of the most meaningful parts of what I do.
