One of Austria's first five Kubestronauts and a Platform Engineering Ambassador, Max is a platform engineer passionate about Kubernetes, GitOps, and observability. He is one of the creators of Janus, an open-source authentication proxy that enforces fine-grained multi-tenant access control for observability stacks by rewriting queries at runtime. When he's not building production-grade platforms, he's expanding his homelab - a self-hosted infrastructure that rivals enterprise-level cloud setups.
