About Me

I'm Patryk Golabek — a Cloud-Native Software Architect based in Ontario, Canada.

I've been writing code, building things, and leading teams for over 17 years, and I still get excited about it. I got into Kubernetes before its 1.0 release, lived through the full evolution of cloud computing, and now I'm deep into AI/ML systems and LLM agents. From backend services to frontend apps, infrastructure to data science.

I love the craft and I'm always learning.

Career Highlights

Early Kubernetes adopter

I was building production clusters before the 1.0 release. Watching that ecosystem grow from the inside has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career.

From code to leadership

I've gone from writing code to leading teams and shaping technical strategy — including CTO and co-founder roles. Now I'm looking for my next challenge.

AI/ML Systems

These days I'm deep into LLM agents, RAG pipelines, and AI-powered automation. It's the most fun I've had in years.

Open-Source

20+ public repositories and counting — sharing tools and projects across Kubernetes, AI agents, infrastructure as code, and more.

Writing & sharing

Now that I have a proper home for my writing, expect more content soon. The best way to learn something is to explain it, so I plan to do a lot of explaining.
