Experience
Terminal for Kubernetes Dashboard
https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/pull/1939Private GKE Cluster Support for Terraform
https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-google/pull/1250I was working on a larger project for a medical support organization and this was a side project. They required GKE provisioned with Terraform and no external IPs. Private clusters were in beta at the time and Terraform did not support them yet.
GCP Cloud DNS Support for acme.sh
https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/pull/1623I wrote acme.sh in pure shell which makes it a preferable solution in some environments.
