Álex (@agonzalezro) is Gallego. He does Go and such. He has been using Docker in production in the past and now he is trying to sell Kubernetes to jobandtalent.com. He developed the Flocker volume plugin for Kubernetes which was released in the latest version 1.1 & he is also using it for his pet projects.
