Hey, I'm Om, a software engineer working in Go, Kubernetes and backend infrastructure. I'm the founding engineer at Ensueno, where I own the API layer and PostgreSQL databases for three production services.
I'm open to new roles. The quickest way to reach me is LinkedIn or omlahorey@gmail.com.

I'm a member of the Volcano organization in the CNCF, and I've had 66 pull requests merged across 26 open source projects, most of them Go infrastructure. These are the projects I work in the most:
I've also had PRs merged in Wayfinder, Kestra blueprints, OpenKruise agents, vehicle-positions, go-gtfs, Twenty, PipeCD, MDN, Stagehand, KHI, Phase, OpenWISP, AxonHub, tweakcn, dashbrr, ghorg and gickup.
I reported three crypto bugs privately to an end to end encrypted photo service in Europe as well. The worst one was a PBKDF2 iteration count that dropped to a single round on 32 bit builds, and they confirmed all three and had fixes out the same day.
