Kelsey is a really “dope” (one of his trademark words) person who mainly does DevOps stuff. Kelsey comes from a humble background and has run the entire gamut from doing physical IT to leading Google’s cloud strategy.

His demos and presentations are legendary as some of the best in the industry. He routinely leads keynotes with live demos.

He’s often an outspoken advocate for Terraform and other Hashicorp tools.

He created the NoCode movement

He wrote “Kubernetes the hard way”, a book about building your own cluster from scratch. He often takes that approach, and when learning crypto he actually had written his own blockchain and smart contracts.
