About Brandon Zuelke

As you may know already I\'m Brandon. My life consists of pushing the bleeding edge of technology. I love researching new concepts and applying them in my home lab I\'ve constructed. It\'s important to me to become the best I can be with the passion I have for my field of work. I\'m actively working as a Principle Site Reliability Engineer heavily involved within Kubernetes in multi-cloud. I love attending conferences and conventions, especially those pertaining to my field. I\'m also a member of multiple meetup groups (Kubernetes, Docker Orlando, etc) around Orlando so if you\'re also a part please feel free to catch me and say hello.
