From free-kicks to git commits
summary
A career shifts from being scouted at four and suffering a career‑ending knee injury at 18 to building cloud native tooling: moves from AI-powered Kubernetes security into training and consulting, runs a Cloud Native Club and a “My Journey” series, and trains 8,000 people worldwide. Focuses on self-service platforms for banks to remove manual process delays, using Kubernetes and Prometheus as orchestration and observability tools, and credits discipline, resilience and adaptability for making the transitions work.
