Many organizations struggle to eliminate tech debt with existing bubble gum and scripts or change configuration code, or look toward adopting immutable production patterns with Docker and Kubernetes. The question is how to do this and build confidence that when modules or whole systems are swapped out everything will still work.

Joaquin started in the industry straight out of highschool at Apple Computer as a QA Engineer and later a Tool Developer.

Currently, Joaquin is partnered with RocketLawyer, helping them transform their organization to apply DevOps principles that will break down silos and foster collaboration.
