About Me

As an experienced OpenShift engineer, I specialize in the storage, Kubernetes (k8s), and virtualization components of the platform. I have authored comprehensive training and reference documents covering critical topics such as etcd, HAProxy, TCP, VRRP/Keepalived, DNS, CSI storage providers, LVM, local storage operators, NFS, Device Mapper, and Git. Additionally, I possess extensive knowledge in quantum computing, physics, mathematics, and machine learning and have contributed to various topics related to these fields.

      Isaac Newton

    • The strength of a person's spirit would then be measured by how much 'truth' he could tolerate...
