Hi there, I'm Richard Knop!

I'm an experienced software engineer, open source contributor. I have mostly focused on backend programming in Go, also dev ops and IaC (AWS, Terraform, docker, Kubernetes etc) but I have used other programming languages in the past too.

I currently work for ESGBook, I have worked for News UK and Grab before as well as other places, see my LinkedIn profile for full history.

• 10+ years Go experience
• 8 years AWS experience, 4 years GCP
• 7 years Terraform, docker etc experience
• 6 years Kubernetes experience

Check out some of my open source projects:

• machinery (think Celery but written in Go)
• minisql (an attempt to reimplement SQL database in Golang from scratch)
• go-oauth2-server (old project when I was learning the ins and outs of OAuth 2.0 protocol)
