Thanks for considering my course. I'm a DevOps, Docker, and Kubernetes trainer, consultant, speaker, and Open Source volunteer. For 25+ years I have built and operated distributed systems.

Since 2017, my courses, live workshops, and conference talks on containers and DevOps have reached more than 350,000 people worldwide. The first course I made was a Docker course on Udemy and it quickly grew to be #1 in the topic. In total, I've published four large courses, two of which continue to hold the position of Best Seller courses. Fun fact, even Docker, Inc. uses my Docker Mastery course to train their new-hires.

I'm also a practitioner. For the past 12 years, I have consulted and advised companies big and small, digging into DevOps projects and leading teams to "containerize" their apps and systems, improve their speed of deployment, resiliency, metrics, and awareness.

Efficiency and effectiveness are pet peeves of mine, so it makes sense that I love the scope of automating workflows. Much of my focus with organizations over the last five years has been automating their container pipelines.

I've come to understand it's not enough to simply learn a tool, it's necessary to learn how multiple tools work together. In all this time teaching containers, I find one of the hardest parts is understanding the end-to-end workflow for getting software out of developer hands and into production servers.

I see firsthand the positive impact on team performance and service reliability that an automated software lifecycle can have.

I'm a Docker Captain, which is a "distinction that Docker awards select members of the community who are both experts in their field and are passionate about sharing their Docker knowledge with others." It's definitely an honor to be a Captain; currently there are only 66 in the world. I am also a Digital Ocean Navigator and a Traefik Ambassador. And, because I'm an Eagle Scout, I like to leave any DevOps platform I find better than I found it (a Scout motto)🤚.

I also host a weekly YouTube Live show and a podcast with Cloud Native experts.

This evolution from speaker, consultant, and instructor of self-paced online courses to cohort workshops is an exciting one for me. The small, highly engaged format of training can be quite effective for many people and I hope it will be for you too.
