I'm Patrick D'appollonio, I'm a Chilean 🇨🇱 Canadian 🇨🇦 and a Principal Engineer working at Kubefirst. I work mostly with Go and Kubernetes in my day-to-day, and as such, you'll see a few tools below I've built over time to solve personal itches. You should also see some Rust code here and there. If any of the applications you see are valuable to you or have any feedback, please do not hesitate to create an issue in their respective repository, or message me on Twitter: @marlex. I'm always looking forward to feedback!
If you want to know more about me, you can visit my personal website (some of the most recent articles I've written are listed below!), follow me on Twitter/X or add me on LinkedIn.
