Profile: https://flows.cv/johnruddell

I'm a Principal Software Engineer at Platform9, a SaaS platform to to easily run Kubernetes as a Service at scale, leveraging existing environments, with no operational burden. Most of my efforts are on the management console that users and developers interface with daily. I really enjoy working on new, exciting/challenging problems. 

Recently I have enjoyed developing user interfaces with React/Redux on the front-end and I'm an avid believer in Typescript for productivity and refactor tools in my Javascript projects.
