About Claude Hector
Platform Engineer at Lowe\'s managing Kubernetes cluster lifecycle at scale. CKA. RHCSA. Eight months in and I\'ve found my niche.The path here wasn\'t straight — accountant turned engineer, bootcamp, layoff, rebuild, relocation, two certifications, and a role I genuinely love. The full story is at beyondthecert.dev.What I do:I provision, patch, and operate Kubernetes clusters in enterprise environments. On-premises and cloud. The kind of work where the details matter and things break in ways documentation doesn\'t cover.What I\'m building:Genesis1 — a bare metal Kubernetes cluster running on my desk in Charlotte. Two ThinkPad masters, two ThinkCentre workers. The blog you\'re reading runs on it, deployed via ArgoCD from a GitHub repository. Full observability stack. GitOps pipeline. Built from scratch.Certifications:CKA — Certified Kubernetes AdministratorRHCSA — Red Hat Certified System AdministratorCKS — in progressWriting:I document the journey at beyondthecert.dev — platform engineering, Kubernetes internals, and what comes after the certification.Always open to connecting with people doing interesting work in platform engineering and Kubernetes infrastructure.Contact:c•••••@beyondthecert.dev
