I work at Microsoft and I'm proud to be a geek. I'm a Product Manager for the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) based in Denver, CO

Exciting news! I'm thrilled to announce that I’m taking a new position at Microsoft as a Principal Product Manager on the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Engineering Team. It's a great opportunity to help build a product that I've loved since it started
Our team is always looking for new ways to get feedback on AKS. Kicked off a Reddit thread to get feedback on node scaling, NAP/Karpenter, and the cluster autoscaler. Come share your thoughts and questions. teddit.net/r/AZURE/comments/…
