Steve Wade

Independent Kubernetes Consultant & Trainer

I am actively seeking new opportunities, specialising in the development of self-service platforms for developers, with a particular focus on Kubernetes. As a founding engineer at KSOC, a Kubernetes security startup, I was instrumental in defining the company’s technological direction and product offerings. My leadership at KSOC exemplifies my dedication to innovation and my capability to shape foundational aspects of a company’s tech landscape.

Prior to my impactful tenure at KSOC, I held Platform leadership positions at Underwrite Me and Mettle, where I was a strong advocate for GitOps, leading the implementation of self-service platforms that significantly improved developer autonomy and efficiency. My expertise in Kubernetes has also led me to offer consultancy and training on a global scale, demonstrating the depth of knowledge and experience I acquired as a Consultant at Apprenda.

Throughout my career, I have held leadership roles across a variety of verticals, including real estate, gaming, and the UK parliament. This diverse experience has not only broadened my technological insight but has also equipped me with the adaptability to deliver tailored solutions across different industries.

I am now looking to bring my extensive skills and innovative approach to a new challenge, aiming to build platforms that enable developers to thrive and innovate. If your organization values a track record of success in Kubernetes environments and a commitment to empowering developer communities, I would be excited to explore how we can collaborate.
