Summary
Damian Peckett is a freelance software engineer based in Berlin with 10 years’ experience building and operating high-reliability distributed systems, Kubernetes platforms, and network-focused tooling. He combines hands-on systems engineering (operators, GitOps, Terraform, OpenStack, K3s) with low-level networking projects—authoring userspace TCP/IP sockets for WireGuard and a BuildKit-powered Debian base system. Recent work includes mTLS proxies for Google Cloud SQL, a single-container Kubernetes distribution for CI, and an automated SSH CA with OAuth/OpenID integration, illustrating a focus on secure, automatable infrastructure. Comfortable in Go, Rust and cloud-native tooling, he avoids Java roles and prefers projects that blend networking, orchestration and reproducible build systems.
