Tom Braack, an intern at Grafana Labs, is currently contributing to the development of open-source projects like Grafana Loki and tanka during his five-week summer holidays after being invited to join the company by Goutham at KubeCon 2019. Residing in a small German town, Tom is passionate about enhancing user and developer experiences through bug fixes and feature improvements, and he took the initiative to create a minimal replacement for the deprecated ksonnet, which was a configuration utility for Kubernetes. In his free time, he enjoys engineering projects using Raspberry Pis and ESP8266s, exploring opportunities for building smart home devices, and is an advocate for using spaces over tabs in coding. Tom is also active on Twitter and GitHub under the handle @sh0rez, enjoys binge-watching popular series like Money Heist, and has varied preferences for ice cream flavors, depending on the day.
