PROFILE

Piers Karsenbarg

Worked across multiple infrastructure-as-code repositories, focusing on improving reliability and developer experience through targeted documentation and backend enhancements. In pulumi/pulumi-dotnet, addressed a critical issue by ensuring ResourceTransforms persist when merging CustomResourceOptions, using C# and comprehensive unit and integration testing to validate the fix. Enhanced the Pulumi Java SDK by clarifying Output.java documentation, reducing misconfiguration risk for Java developers. Improved onboarding and support for Nutanix Terraform users by correcting HCL code block formatting in Markdown. Additionally, refactored the pulumi/pulumi-kubernetes ConfigFile API and documentation to simplify single-file workflows, demonstrating skills in code refactoring, Java, and technical writing.

April 2026: Delivered a critical bug fix in pulumi/pulumi-dotnet to preserve ResourceTransforms when merging CustomResourceOptions, ensuring transformations are not dropped for generated resources. Implemented MergeNormalOptions update to mirror existing ResourceTransformations behavior, and added a suite of tests (unit and integration; RandomWithMakeOptions) validating persistence of transforms. This work reduces runtime surprises, strengthens SDK reliability, and improves developer experience for .NET Pulumi users.
