Paul currently works as a Developer Advocate for the k6 OSS project at Grafana Labs. In this role, he encourages developers and testers alike to "shift left," bringing reliability testing earlier in the software development process. He's been a software engineer/architect for well over 20 years, programming in varied languages and platforms. Working with the open source community around cloud technologies like k6, Kubernetes, and Kafka, among others, keeps him young, as do his interests in punk rock music and playing bass guitar.
