Mike contributed to the nethopper2/kaops-addons repository by engineering infrastructure as code and deployment enhancements focused on Kubernetes and AWS EKS environments. He upgraded Terraform workspace modules, modernized GPU plugin deployment with explicit YAML DaemonSets, and integrated the kubectl provider to streamline Kubernetes interactions. Mike centralized OAuth2 proxy configuration and Okta integration using Kubernetes ConfigMaps, improving security and deployment reliability. He also introduced Grafana dashboard monitoring for observability and addressed configuration mapping bugs to stabilize Helm chart deployments. Working primarily with Terraform, YAML, and Helm, Mike demonstrated depth in cloud infrastructure, configuration management, and release automation, delivering robust, maintainable solutions.

Month: 2025-03 — Delivered key infrastructure as code and deployment improvements for nethopper2/kaops-addons, focusing on reliability, security, and Kubernetes integration. Key features include Terraform workspace module upgrade for AWS EKS, updates to the AWS EKS Helm chart and Kubernetes version handling, modernization of NVIDIA GPU plugin deployment, Kubectl provider integration for EKS deployments, and removal of the AWS EBS CSI driver in the GPU module. A critical security hardening effort removed sensitive tokens from Terraform configurations and improved credentials handling across providers to prevent exposure and ensure proper authentication. These changes reduce blast radius, improve deployment determinism, and enable faster, safer rollouts. Technologies demonstrated include Terraform, Helm, Kubernetes, YAML DaemonSet, Kubectl provider, and robust credential management.
