Gerard Braad

Platform engineer and engineering leader with 15+ years building developer tools and infrastructure. I translate vague requirements into production systems, ship monthly releases across three platforms, and lead distributed teams.

From OpenStack to Kubernetes to local development environments; I work across the full infrastructure stack. Currently focused on making developer experiences better through containers, virtualization, secure AI, and cross-platform tooling.
