DOP 241: From Restaurant Server to KubeCon Keynote in Under 4 Years
Show Notes
#241: On today’s episode, we go in depth with one of our friends, Whitney Lee. You may know her from her Enlightening series on Tanzu.TV or maybe from the You Choose videos she does with Viktor.
But did you know just over 4 years ago, she was a server in a vegetarian restaurant and since that time she’s spoken five times at KubeCon conferences - 2 of which were keynotes? What’ll you’ll learn is that just because you don’t have a CS degree doesn’t mean that you can’t do great things in tech.
