Software Engineer And Mentor (Kubernetes, Go, Service Mesh, GSoC)
Hi,
My name is Ivan. I have been a software engineer for 15 years, with experience in contributing to open source projects like Kubernetes, OpenShift, Linkerd and Cloud Foundry, as well as building enterprise software.
I have a knack of coming up with simple and clean solutions to complex problems. People who I have worked with really appreciate my friendly, affirming, truthful and non-judgmental personality.
I can help you with:
- designing, implementing and debugging Kubernetes-based solutions
- Kubernetes training
- code review
- system architecture review
- career growth advice
- tech job interview advice and practice
- resume reviews
I look forward to getting to know you!

Ivan is an amazing mentor! He really cares about your understanding and progression. I've had the pleasure of working with him for a few sessions now and he has really helped me deeply understand kubernetes. We've debugged and gone through lectures. He is very committed and fun to work with. I look forward to working him more in the future as I can't say enough about his expertise.
