Summary
Brian P is a Ceph-focused engineer with 8 years of experience building and operating large-scale, stateful storage and Kubernetes platforms across European enterprises. He has designed and run highly available Ceph deployments including CephFS and RadosGW powering productized S3 services with billions of requests per day and storage footprints exceeding 70PB. Brian blends deep Ceph operational expertise with Kubernetes networking and orchestration (Calico, CRI-O, kubeadm, MetalLB, Multus) and has repeatedly led evaluations, performance tuning, and documentation for production migrations. He’s delivered containerized, self-service infrastructure—from Namespace-as-a-Service to Docker-less clusters—and automated complex stacks using tools like Terraform, MAAS and cephadm. Based in Berlin, he favors pragmatic, infrastructure-first solutions and brings a pattern-oriented approach to making stateful workloads reliably cloud-native. A detail not obvious from titles: he often pairs hands-on benchmarking with clear runbooks, turning one-off evaluations into repeatable platform products.
