PROFILE

Daniel Raap

Worked extensively on the subshell/helm-charts repository, delivering Helm charts and Kubernetes configurations to streamline deployment, resource management, and operational reliability for cloud-native applications. Focused on automating infrastructure tasks such as Artifactory cleanup with CronJobs, enhancing release workflows, and supporting multi-server and multi-namespace deployments. Applied skills in Go, YAML, and Helm to implement features like HTTPRoute support, resource configuration, and Prometheus alerting, while maintaining robust documentation and CI/CD practices. Addressed configuration management challenges by standardizing resource limits, improving chart metadata, and refining rollback strategies, resulting in more predictable, maintainable, and scalable deployments across diverse Kubernetes environments.
