Navarro worked on the redhat-openshift-ecosystem/certified-operators repository, delivering a comprehensive observability and data management layer for the Tawon Kubernetes operator. Over 11 months, he designed and implemented Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) for components such as Stream, StreamStore, and TopologyAggregator, enabling declarative management of data streams and observability configurations. Using YAML and Kubernetes Operator SDK, Navarro integrated ServiceMonitors, webhook services, and RBAC policies to support metrics collection, secure access, and automated monitoring. His work established scalable, end-to-end observability and improved deployment reliability, addressing operational visibility and lifecycle management for microservices within OpenShift-certified operator environments.
