Hey there! 👋

I’m Hugo Guerrero, a developer turned dust fairy ✨ who sprinkles joy over developers struggling with APIs, messaging, and Kubernetes.

My Journey 🚀

My tech journey has been quite the adventure:

  • Early Days: Started as a Windows developer in the 2000s, building .NET applications and Java clients
  • The Linux Leap: Joined the world’s biggest Linux company (Red Hat), where I had to rapidly level up my Linux skills
  • Cloud Native Advocate: Now I focus on helping developers navigate the complex world of Kubernetes, containers, and cloud-native technologies

I’ve worn many hats—from developer to middleware specialist to developer advocate—and each role taught me something valuable about making technology more accessible.

What I Do 💼

I help developers succeed with:

  • 🚢 Kubernetes - Making container orchestration less intimidating
  • 📦 Containers - Docker, Podman, and everything in between
  • ⚡ Event Streaming - Apache Kafka and messaging architectures
  • 🛠️ Developer Experience - Tools and workflows that actually work
  • ☁️ Cloud Native - Practical patterns for real-world applications

Why This Blog? 📝

I created Hello Kube because I believe that:

  1. Learning should be practical - Every tutorial here is hands-on and tested
  2. Complexity can be simplified - Cloud-native doesn’t have to be overwhelming
  3. Community matters - Sharing knowledge makes us all better developers

Whether you’re just starting with Kubernetes or looking to level up your cloud-native skills, I hope you’ll find something useful here.
