Kubernetes

I had exposure to Kubernetes and it seems to be an important when we talk about distributed systems and high performance computing, and I wanted to get a hand on this as I was not familiar with it. In terms of virtualisation technologies I did not go further than virtual machines so this is frankly new for me.

Pass your CCNA first try

I recently passed my CCNA, this was the most challenging certification so far and it did require more work compared to other courses I have followed until now.

About

I work together with Sales Reps to deliver compelling discoveries, demos, and architecture blueprints of software & cloud products to clients involving multidisciplinary IT architectures. Half of my career has been in pre-sales at Oracle and SAP, specialising in applications, databases especially Oracle, Linux, and cloud platforms. The other half has been in pure net-new Sales roles within ultra-aggressive, VC-funded hyper-scaling startups. In these roles, I was a pivotal member of the sales leadership team, notably contributing to the revenue growth in one instance from a half-million ARR to tens of millions in less than four years - and the company in question successfully exited for 650M since then (and in Europe!). Additionally, I have successfully led complex, years-long sales cycles at some of Europe’s largest companies, working together with software vendors and implementation partners to secure complex deals and their closure. I hold a Master of Science in Computing and I am fluent in English, French and Spanish. Please check my articles, subscribe and get in touch via email.
