PROFILE

Robert Clarke

Worked on backend enhancements for the grafana-operator and grafana repositories, focusing on data source configuration and transport security. Developed an optional targetDatasourceUid field for recording rules in grafana-operator, enabling more precise data routing and improved alerting integration while maintaining backward compatibility. In the grafana repository, implemented flexible gRPC transport security for the Tempo datasource, allowing both TLS and non-TLS connections and addressing basic authentication handling. Collaborated with co-authors to ensure code quality and maintainability throughout the process. Utilized Go, YAML, and Kubernetes, applying API and backend development skills to deliver targeted, maintainable features without introducing breaking changes.
