About
Hi, I’m L! I do DevRel at Tilt.
You probably know me from talks and workshops. I’m a Google Developer Expert for Go, and a CNCF ambassador.
I’m very much involved with open source, more specifically Go and Kubernetes. I got my start in the Kubernetes world by working as an intern developer on SIG-CLI, thanks to Outreachy.
I’m passionate about making multi-service systems easier and more accessible to develop in.
I’m non-binary and use they/them/their pronouns.
