About

I’m Irvi — an engineer drawn to the intersection of systems and people. Currently at a fruit stall company. My work spans distributed systems, machine learning, and developer tooling, with a thread of open source running through all of it.

I’ve contributed to projects like Kubernetes, TensorFlow, Keras, Apache Beam, and others — projects I care about because they shape how engineers everywhere build things. Beyond code, I’ve spent years helping shape conferences like KubeCon + CloudNativeCon as a program committee member and track chair for Machine Learning and Data.

This blog is where I write about technology, ethics, burnout, and what it means to be a person alongside the work.
