• Working with Rancher Kubernetes Management Engine

LFX Mentee at KubeVela - CNCF (Remote)Jun 2026 - Sep 2026

• Worked on a mission to take the KubeVela project from Incubation to Graduation.
• Extended KubeVela's request workflow provider to source HTTP headers from Kubernetes Secrets, adding a headersFromSecret field across the CUE schema and Go implementation with namespace-scoped resolution and clear error handling.
• Built a new config.oam.dev/v1alpha1 API group with ConfigTemplate and Config CRDs, controllers, and validating webhooks, designed to coexist with legacy ConfigMap/Secret storage so existing configs kept working without migration.
• Led the upgrade of all dependencies, including Go, the Kubernetes API library, and controller-runtime, across the whole KubeVela organization.
• Took responsibility for migrating the unmaintained apiserver module library to the canonical Kubernetes apiserver REST library.

• Single-handedly led the EKS Kubernetes upgrade from 1.30 to 1.33.
• Single-handedly led the upgrade of the entire Kubernetes platform, including Argo CD, cert-manager, External Secrets, Kyverno, Reloader, CloudNativePG operator, and many other components.
• Highly experienced in setting up Kubernetes infrastructure repositories for multi-environment setups using Kustomize, Argo Applications, the App of Apps pattern, Kustomize patching, etc.
• Contributed to the organization as an open-source advocate through blogging, internal technical sessions, and more.
• Worked as a Cloud Native Advocate for CNCF Projects.
