Jeroen Op 't Eynde is a seasoned systems engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience in Linux, Kubernetes, and cloud-native tooling, operating as a freelance engineer out of Belgium. He contributes to prominent open-source projects—most notably Grafana Tanka and jsonnet-libs—where he implemented Helm templating integration and enhanced Kubernetes deployment and monitoring patterns. His work shows a knack for bridging DevOps and backend engineering: building native functions, rendering kustomize into jsonnet, and hardening Prometheus/Grafana alerts for resilient production behavior. Comfortable with automation and infra refactors, he also brings practical insights like deploying pull-through Docker registries and streamlining helm-based workflows.
