Hey! I'm Kirsten
I am currently a senior software quality engineer at Red Hat on the Telco Verification team. There, I'm an avid k9s user and maintain the eco-goinfra and eco-gotests repos.
Outside of work I'm always trying to learn languages (Esperanto and Spanish) and maintain a server with an ever-expanding list of self-hosted apps.
I also graduated from UNC Chapel Hill in 2023 with a bachelor's in mathematics.

These are some of my side projects. I'm pretty bad about finishing them though.
