📋 Biography

I’m a Senior DevOps Consultant and GitHub Trainer at Xebia. I help engineering teams accelerate value delivery through pragmatic DevOps practices and the intelligent adoption of GitHub Copilot. Over the past 25 years in software, I’ve worked hands-on as a developer (2000–2007), lead developer (2007–2010), and senior DevOps/ALM consultant (2010–2024), before focusing fully on GitHub enablement. The advice I share on stage is grounded in what I’ve experienced and applied in real production environments. I’ve trained thousands of developers and engineering leaders at large enterprises with over 1,000 employees. I hold every GitHub certification as well as the Microsoft AZ-400 certification, contribute to open source, and regularly publish videos on my YouTube channel about GitHub Copilot and Visual Studio Code.
