Senior🎓
Top SchoolYolanda Robla is a Staff Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience designing and automating cloud and bare-metal infrastructure, currently helping build Stacklok and contributing to cloud management at IaSQL. She has deep expertise in OpenStack, OpenShift, and GitOps-style provisioning from roles at Red Hat, Canonical, and HPE, and has influenced tooling used for image building and bare-metal deployment (notably contributions to openstack/diskimage-builder and metal3 dev-scripts). Comfortable across Python, Go, and automation stacks, she solves complex, high-scale reliability problems spanning kernels, LVM, bootloader customization and network bridge automation. Based in Oregon with roots in Spain, she combines systems-architect thinking with pragmatic freelance experience, having led end-to-end projects for high-load and cloud environments. Notably, her open-source work shows a focus on operational efficiency and reproducible infrastructure rather than just feature development.
