Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPeter Engelbert is a Software Engineer II with 8 years of experience building cloud-native infrastructure and open-source tooling, currently driving security and automation work at Microsoft for AKS. He led Eraser, a CNCF-accepted Kubernetes garbage collector and vulnerability scanner that cut non-running vulnerable images by 80% and is moving toward GA across AKS, and made changes to Trivy to enable that performance gain. Peter is a prolific contributor to OCI ecosystem projects—he rewrote parts of the OCI distribution spec, authored its conformance tests, implemented OCI pull for Helm (merged into Helm 3.4), and helped make bundle.bar the first fully conformant registry. Comfortable across Go, Rust, Kubernetes, Helm, and distributed build pipelines, he combines deep systems engineering with a creative background in music composition that he credits for his algorithmic thinking and disciplined craftsmanship.
