Development, deployment, automation, and Integration

I'm Kevin Carter, a leader known for tackling the challenges others shy away from and consistently delivering results that once seemed impossible, always with a smile and a quick "ship it." Whether it's data centers, cloud technology, or large infrastructure projects, I've led teams through the fire and emerged with innovative, practical solutions that get the job done. As a leader in open-source technologies, I embrace complexity, turning challenges into opportunities to drive innovation and push boundaries while simplifying outcomes. I take a dynamic and adaptable approach to leadership, believing that transparency, collaboration, and the courage to release early and often are crucial to success. By iterating rapidly and learning from every step, I cultivate an environment where experimentation leads to progress and where failure is a steppingstone to improvement. For me, leadership is about more than just managing people or products; it's about empowering individuals, fostering a culture of continuous growth, and delivering results that stand the test of time. My goal is to make a lasting impact on both the team and the broader community, ensuring that our work leaves a positive and enduring legacy.
