Manfred Liiv is a Senior Software Engineer and Site Reliability expert with 11 years of experience building and operating large-scale, Kubernetes-first platforms for companies like Bloomberg and Apple. He specializes in multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters, GitOps pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/Ansible), and has implemented production-grade admission controllers, sidecars, and integration testing frameworks. Manfred has driven cost and reliability improvements—reducing cloud spend with EC2 spot instances and enabling testing in production while capturing billions of HTTP requests weekly. Comfortable across Go, Python, Java and modern front-ends, he blends systems-level engineering with user-facing tooling such as a React self-service deployment UI. Based in England, he pairs a master’s in computer science with hands-on experience mentoring hires and shaping CI/CD best practices. A detail that sets him apart is his focus on Kubernetes primitives at extreme scale—designing components that safely surface and manage production traffic for developer workflows.
