Krain Arnold

I am a father, ex-soldier, and a geek. I have a strong passion for open source technologies and love working at Red Hat. In 2020, I moved with my lovely wife and three awesome kids from Höllviken, Sweden, where we enjoyed kräftor and vildsvin, to Virginia, America, where we enjoy freedom and mountain streams.

I'm half of the OpenShift Specialist team supporting Federal Healthcare. We focus on enabling adoption of Red Hat's opinionated kubernetes architecture. We do things like GitOps, DevSecOps, Platform Engineering, DevEX, Zero Trust, and Trusted Software Supply Chain.

Above all I like to build things that solve problems.
