Could you share more about your history in IT?
My passion for IT started just after the college period. I had my first learning web development lessons and I saw things change when I modified some variables. But what interested me the most in small lessons about containers after that It became clear that when I saw this that I would like to work in this industry.
In 2018, I embarked on my professional journey in the IT industry, with a keen interest in cloud-native platforms and automation. I was particularly captivated by RedHat‘s OpenShift and the magical power of Ansible to automate everything. This passion drove me to delve deeper into cloud-native solutions and other automation tools, setting the foundation for my future career.
