Leonard Vincent Simon Pahlke

I work at the intersection of software engineering and strategy, focusing on bare metal infrastructure and distributed systems. I am a CNCF Ambassador and have served as Kubernetes Release Lead (v1.26) and Chair of the CNCF TAG ENV. At BWI, I help shape the next-generation air-gapped, edge computing infrastructure for the Bundeswehr. Outside of tech, I enjoy photography and philosophy.
