About
Charles Martinot
CKA-certified Kubernetes Administrator with a passion for building scalable, reliable infrastructure. I've spent my career helping teams migrate to cloud-native architectures, optimize their infrastructure costs, and build platforms that scale effortlessly.
My focus on Kubernetes and Kafka comes from seeing firsthand how these technologies transform how teams deploy and manage applications. There's nothing quite like watching a team go from manual deployments and frequent outages to automated, self-healing infrastructure that just works.
I work with startups and mid-market companies who are ready to scale their infrastructure the right way - with best practices, automation, and a focus on long-term sustainability over quick fixes.
