Iām a proud Gitpodder! š I currently lead community engagement and development, part of DCS (Developer & Community Success) team! Curious about how I got here? You can read more about why I joined Gitpod on my blog.
Shifting my focus on to tooling and developer experience, I also author DevX Digest - the newsletter about developer experience.
Gitpod is an open source platform for automated and ready-to-code development environments, enabling developers to describe their dev environment as code and start instant and fresh development environments for each new task directly from a browser. Join our community!
I began learning to code for fun when I was 8 years old. I formed a hobby of building websites which carries on to this day - continuing to bring my ideas to life by playing around with pixels on the internet.
Taking my love for technology and learning further, I took to the Clouds and became AWS Certified as a Cloud Practitioner (November 2019) and Solutions Architect Associate
(December 2020)
Recently, I've dipped my toes into Kubernetes and the Cloud Native Ecosystem. In December 2021, I cleared the KCNA certificate.
