Greetings, I'm Antonio from Italy, will officially join RedHat starting from next 1st October. I'm 35 and will be based in Milan Office.

I'm passionate of IT, operative systems and automations programming, especially with Python. I'm also passionate of motorbikes

 My first steps with unix-like operating systems were in the late 90's, but I started to work with Red Hat in enterprise environments more or less 10 years ago.

Since then I had the chance to work as consultant in a lot of company, mainly around the FinTech world, but not only, where I contributed with my knowledge and my experience built up over the years to many projects.

 In my last job experience, I worked for a trading software house, leader in financial capital markets where I was involved as senior trading software analyst in challenging projects like the MIFID2 regulation software compliance adaptation, cooperating in market gateways development.

 Last but not least I acted as technical account manager of one of the largest banks in Italy, which I worked together in the last period on a complex proprietary software technology upgrade and migration.

I'm really excited to join Red Hat community and to be back with hands on something that I'm really passionate for.

Hello All, I'm glad to join the community.  I'v been in IT for a while having ridden each technology wave and am now riding high on Red Hat.  Got to lose my job when the first dot com bubble burst, was there when the world ended with Y2K. Watched my certifications become meaningless (ie Novel CNE, Blackberry, Sun) or turn into something great from just a hobby (VMware, RHEL).

Focused today on Managing an Enterprise Linux team for a big shop.  So will be looking to take what I know today (RHEL 4 up to 7 and  Satellite) to the next skill level.  As well would like to deep dive into Containers as it seems we could eliminate a lot of traditional problems with them.  Extra credit if I can get Ansible under my belt.  Will be looking to use RHEL learning subsciption to get all that off the ground.

Hello World! My name is David Heib, and I hail from Colorado, USA. I'm in software QA, but also teach red hat courses part time. I love open source and all things red hat! I love teaching all my courses (rh124/134/254), and have been currently learning about ansible. I attended 2018's red hat summit and took a seminar about it, and am hooked! My hobbies revolve around the Colorado outdoors, including hiking, biking, camping, and skiing.

Hi,

As a Fieldmanager and responsible for Learning & Development at Conclusion Xforce, I try to keep up to speed on what's hot and happening. Based on this I can help my colleagues decide what courses and exams to take.

My own latest certification was for RHEL6 back in 2011. :) However, I think it's nice to keep in touch with the Red Hat portfolio.

Regards,

Evert Jan

Hello! I am a communications/marketing professional turned software engineer (intern at the time of posting). I am currently going back to school for my bachelor's in computer science. Only 6 more months to go!

I work on the Katello (plugin for Foreman) development team, under the Satellite umbrella.

I have not taken any Red Hat courses, but hope that this will be a great first step in that process. Looking forward to the conversations here.

Lots of Red Hat employees here :). I'll try to boost the ranks of non -RH employes :).

I'm Bogdan from Romania. I've discovered linux back in 2003 when I was in college. I was fascinated ( first distro was Knoppix). 

In 2005 as my diploma project I presented an alternative to the Microsoft AD based on Samba + OpenLdap with a web interface written in PHP.

I've started working with enterprise RHEL in 2007 and still working now with RHEL (albeit a bit different now since I'm using Ansible and Puppet for automation and moving some of our apps to OpenShift)

My workstation is a Lenovo laptop but my homebox is an Fedora I7 4770, 32 GB RAM , 480 GB SSD , 1TB HDD.

I use Linux as my main os since 2009 and Fedora since 2012 and never looked back.

@RedHat instructors

I see lot of praise for your classes. Perhaps you should impose the same standards to your parteners.

For most my RH exams I learned from products admin guided which I think are fanstatic. But for my Ansible certification the company sent us to training(first RH training in my life). The material is great but the class itself sucked, big time.
