I was introduced to Openstack as part of an application prototyping on top of the Kilo release.
For a linux rookie like myself, the complexity of the project was both intimidating, and challenging at the same time, so the next couple of years were set in stone.
Since then, I had the opportunity to get more hands on experience with Openstack operations, engineering and integration with various vendors like Mirantis, Ericsson CEE, Rackspace RPC, Red Hat OSP, VIO and Nokia CBIS.
Right now, I'm working at Nokia on Openstack and Kubernetes based products.
