Topic: Cloud

As the container ecosystem grows in adoption its key that we learn how to scale the quality of the images being produced to meet the demands of regulated entities. Companies that are required to meet various compliance standards include things like PCIDSS, SOC2, and ISO are interested in joining the container revolution but these standards impose requirements that can be difficult to meet with current images.

Topic: Mentoring

Every great career begins with a dream. However, that alone is often not enough. A dreamer must be given the opportunity to try, to fail and to succeed. In 1999, I was fortunate enough to go to Tokyo for a summer internship. That’s where I met Joi Ito, got exposed to open source software for the first time and much more. It was a life-changing experience and even today I continue to cherish it. Fast forward to today, I started an internship program at a Fintech company and am having some success in building a stellar team of misfits while offering a similar life-changing experience.
