Anders has been working as an developer, architect, team-lead and automation nut for the last 12 years. He’s a big proponent off most things agile and think it’s time IT started enabling organisations to change. Not limiting the organisation.

Anders is a tech guy and programmer first. The last 4-years he has been trying to automate anything that is needed to deploy applications reliably. Learning (a little too much) Bash and Python along the way.

@martinb3

It’s one thing to say you want to make the world a better place, but as an engineer I feel I have an opportunity to put those words into action. With over 15 years of experience in infrastructure automation, software development, and systems administration for large scale public cloud providers and top public universities, my mission is to solve for real-world business problems with technical solutions that scale.

For me, it’s important to share the lessons I’ve learned with local technical communities, particularly by mentoring minority college students in STEM fields. I strongly believe in open source and actively contribute to automation projects like Chef. When I’m not writing a technical talk or reviewing pull requests, I enjoy traveling the world, sharing my skills with other like-minded professionals who want to make the world more awesome.
