> I keep regulated, safety-critical and mission-critical platforms alive — from Kubernetes & OpenShift to robotics edge delivery and GPU-backed LLM infrastructure. Thirteen years inside CI/CD, DevSecOps and cloud-native systems across eight industries.
CNCF-aligned Kubernetes & OpenShift platforms on AWS, Azure, GCP and on-prem — with the change control, traceability and audit trail regulated industries need.
You hire me when: your platform passes the demo but fails the audit.
CI/CD pipelines that pass audits. OWASP, SonarQube, Snyk and secrets management wired in from day one — not bolted on the week before assessment.
You hire me when: security gates are the bottleneck shipping every release.
GPU-enabled container platforms, model-serving REST APIs, Python pipelines for document grounding, and agentic systems wired into your delivery workflows.
You hire me when: the prototype works on a laptop but won't survive a real workload.
Cross-platform build systems for embedded firmware (C, C++, Assembly), reproducible packaging, controlled OTA pipelines and traceable delivery to edge fleets.
You hire me when: “works on a dev board” needs to become “works on the fleet.”
Side projects running on my homelab at lab.hartle.tech — used daily, dogfooded against the same patterns I sell to clients.
Self-hosted platform service running in the hartle.tech lab cluster.
Socket-dump & live-system diagnostics utility for production triage.
Proximity tracing & telemetry, end-to-end. Mobile-first, edge-aware.
That's where I come in. CNCF-aligned platforms, evidence-trail CI/CD, GPU-backed inference that survives the on-call rotation. Short call, no pitch deck — we'll figure out if there's a fit in twenty minutes.
