About

I’m Jason Meridth, a Staff+ software engineer with over three decades of experience designing, building, and scaling software systems. My work spans cloud-native infrastructure, distributed systems, application development, and container orchestration, with a focus on reliability, security, and developer experience.

I maintain open source projects across the CNCF and OpenSSF, including Argo Helm, Gemara, and Privateer. I’ve worked as an individual contributor, technical lead, and manager, and I spend a lot of time on community building and mentoring.

Outside of work: I’m a father. I’m a nerd. I tinker with hardware. Here’s how I got started programming.

Things that I’m currently passionate about:

• AI (both technical and ethical)
• Security and Privacy
• Supply Chain
• Automation
• Open Source (creation, maintenance, community, and usage)
• Cloud Native
• Mentoring

I am always learning and do my best to help others learn. I reserve the right to change my mind once I obtain new/different information. I try my best to not let perfect be the enemy of good.
