About me

What do I do?

I'm Rudi. I love servers and I love working on high-performance, reliable infrastructure. I specialise in cloud-native infrastructure, platform and site reliability engineering, with Kubernetes across public and on-prem infrastructure.

I'm a founding engineer at Porter, where I am responsible for internal, production and customer infrastructure. I also wear other hats - I work on product, customer success and growth. Shameless plug - we want to make infrastructure provisioning and management a breeze, and we're already getting there. So hit us up if you want some of that magic!

What else excites me?

Well apart from servers, there's a bunch of stuff that excites me.

1. Math - I'm an amateur game theorist, and I like to use game theory for modeling warfare mathematically.
2. I love history - while I don't get to write any papers due to the absence of academic positions, I do dabble in some historical research.
3. Music. I used to be part of the metal scene at one point. These days, I like to livecode.
4. Food. Specifically West Asian and South-East Asian food. I count myself extremely lucky that I have Persian ghormeh sabzi, Palestinian hummous, Thai pad ka phrao and Malay asam laksa in my life, as well as the ability to actually cook them.

Want to say hi?

...hah. Not that easy. You can hit me up on LinkedIn. If we get along, I promise I'll give out my email.
