Loft.sh has announced that technology operations veteran Rich Burroughs has joined the team as senior developer advocate.

Loft is used by platform teams in enterprises to create internal Kubernetes platforms for developing cloud-native software, executing continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, or running artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) experiments.

Burroughs brings extensive experience in technology operations and engineering and has spent the past few years in developer advocacy and community management.

In his role as senior developer advocate, Burroughs will expand Loft’s existing user community and interact with the broader Kubernetes ecosystem to advocate for the need to advance the state of Kubernetes multi-tenancy and to improve the developer experience on top of Kubernetes.

“Rich brings hands-on experience in building developer-focused user communities,” said Lukas Gentele, co-founder and CEO of Loft. “He will be the perfect person to expand our efforts in the areas of user education and community engagement around Loft as well as around our open-source projects kiosk and DevSpace.”
