About

Leonard Vincent Simon Pahlke
Sustainable Software Engineering | Open Source | Kubernetes
- Kubernetes 1.26 Release Lead
- CNCF TAG Environmental Sustainability co-chair
- Software Engineer & Computer Scientist
I am currently thinking a lot about sustainability and how this change can be reflected in the software area and where the opportunities lie to positively influence this process. In the face of climate change, prospects do not look good, but that should not frighten us to deal with it, but on the contrary drive us to action! 🙂
I ❤️ Art, Philosophy and Nature 🌱 doing outdoor sports like diving or hiking whenever I find time.
