Summary
🤩
RockstarOrange Kao is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer based in Sydney with over a decade of hands-on experience bridging embedded Linux, manufacturing test automation, and cloud operations. He began in firmware and board bring-up, reducing NAND corruption and dramatically cutting test times in manufacturing, and now applies that hardware-rooted troubleshooting mindset to SRE work at Aiven. He is fluent in C/C++ and higher-level languages (Java, Python, Ruby, TypeScript) and comfortable across kernel/uboot tweaks, device interfacing, and AWS Lambda-backed services. Orange uniquely combines oscilloscope-and-logic-analyser diagnostics with cloud reliability practices, making him effective at reproducing and diagnosing issues that span hardware and distributed systems. He has a strong academic background (Master of IT, Macquarie University) and a track record of improving reliability and test coverage in constrained embedded environments. Colleagues know him for reverse-engineering stubborn vendor devices and delivering practical, cross-disciplinary solutions from EVT to production.
