cblecker/README.md

Hello!

You've probably landed here because of my involvement in one open source community or another.

My name is Christoph Blecker, and I'm a senior technical leader and architect with deep expertise in cloud-native infrastructure, site reliability engineering, and open source governance. I specialize in designing, scaling, and operating resilient platforms, with a strong focus on reliability, performance, and real-world impact.

My day job is at Red Hat, where I lead architectural strategy for hybrid cloud management, helping shape the technical direction of our managed services portfolio. Previously, I led Red Hat’s global SRE organization, providing hands-on technical leadership, incident management, and mentorship across distributed teams supporting our managed Kubernetes offerings.

I'm a maintainer of the Kubernetes project, and currently serve on the Cloud Native Computing Foundation Governing Board as the elected maintainer representative for the Kubernetes community. In this role, I advocate for maintainers, contribute to foundation-wide governance, and help guide strategic decisions that impact the cloud-native landscape. I'm also an emertius member of the Kubernetes Steering Committee, as well as a previous Technical Lead for the Contributor Experience Special Interest Group.

I’m an active public speaker, open source contributor, and mentor—passionate about building strong engineering cultures, growing community leadership, and bridging the gap between deep technical work and long-term strategic goals. If I'm not reviewing PRs, I'm probably walking my dog.
