👋 Hello! I'm a Software Engineer and this is where I post about random things related to software or anything else I care about.
Some things I'm interested in:
- Coffee ☕️
 - Cloud ☁️

I write code on Github here: https://github.com/bwagner5
I work on Karpenter, a K8s node autoscaler.
Some talks I've done about Karpenter:
- Scaling K8s Nodes Without Breaking the Bank or Your Sanity - KubeCon EU 2022 | video | slides | Write Up

I currently work at AWS on the Route 53 team. I have previously worked on EC2, EKS, and AWS Marketplace at AWS.
Before AWS...
