Hi, who are you?
Hi, I’m Thomas, lead Consultant at Devoteam in the Red Hat Open Source Practice, which is part of the Innovative Tech team. I was first introduced to Openshift as a developer and found the platform and its features so interesting that I decided to learn more, so much that I became an Openshift administrator.
What is your role at Devoteam?
I’m a Lead Consultant in the Red Hat Opensource practice and I am mostly working with Openshift.
How long did you work at Devoteam?
I have worked at Devoteam for 1 year now.
Did you change roles while being at Devoteam?
No, not at the moment.
Which projects did you work on so far?
I worked on different projects for BICS, FN Herstal and DHL.
The first month at a new company is always special – what was your experience during your first month?
I quickly felt that I was part of a team: from the very beginning I was involved in several projects and discussions and always had someone to reach out to when facing an issue. I was also very pleased with the training opportunities that were made available from the get-go in a wide range of fields.
You must have some experience with technology. What is the favourite technology you have worked with so far?
No surprise here: Openshift. The platform can be defined as an opinionated distribution of Kubernetes, but it offers so much out of the box (to name a few: logging, operator and platform upgrade, security, ci/cd pipelines even virtualization management, etc.), greatly improving the experience of the admins and developers and speeding up the transition for organisations to a Cloud Native paradigm.
To finish off – what are the most important skills you need for your position?
The willingness to continuously learn is very important I think as there is so much new features, concepts, and needs (for example: the support for AI models and AI-enabled applications, the development of Internal Developer Platform also). Also being a team player and willing to dive deep when trying to solve a problem will take you a long way.
Thanks, Thomas!
