Hi, I'm Oliver Gould. I live in California.

I build trustworthy software systems.

I created Linkerd, the original service mesh, at Buoyant.

Some things I've worked on

  • linkerd2-proxy

    Where I've spent the majority of my time over the past few years. The Linkerd proxy is a high-performance, open source service mesh data plane written in Rust.

  • kubert

    Utilities for Kubernetes-oriented applications in Rust. We use this to write both CLIs and controllers in Linkerd.

  • tower-balance

    A generic request load balancer for Tokio. Used by Linkerd.
