# Cedric Clyburn
Developer advocate at Red Hat focusing on container tools and open-source AI.

## About

Cedric Clyburn helps developers build cloud-native applications at Red Hat. He works heavily with Kubernetes, DevOps, and container tools, aiming to make open-source technology more approachable for everyday engineering tasks.

Lately, Cedric spends his time testing out practical ways to run local artificial intelligence. He breaks down complex workflows, from deploying self-hosted large language models to configuring bootable OS containers with Podman Desktop and tuning models with InstructLab.
