About the Speaker:

Steve is a technologist whose journey began with Java back in 1999. As a technical consultant at AHEAD, he thrives in roles spanning from software architecture and cloud-native developer to donning the hat of a DevOps engineer when duty calls.

When Steve isn’t working, he’s busy exploring the globe with his family. Their love for international travel fuels his quest to pick up enough travel Spanish to get by in his elusive digital nomad phase (someday).

Steve also likes tinkering in his slightly excessive home lab or sharing his insights on his blog at smitchell.github.io.
