Bio:
Barry Ballard, Senior Technical Trainer, Confluent
Barry has been involved with the IT market in various aspects, starting in Geographic Information Systems, moving to a couple of large-scale computer storage companies, a large cloud provider and finally landing at Confluent. The majority of his time has been post sale professional services, mostly “Fly and Fix” where telephone support can no longer provide adequate support, so he went on site and worked shoulder to shoulder with the customer to get issues resolved. Though training and educating customers has been a constant part of his career, he decided to do technical training exclusively over the past 8 years, with companies such as EMC, AWS and Confluent. He currently is employed by Confluent as a Senior Technical Trainer teaching about Kafka architecture and operation.
