Julia loves to communicate and to bring people and solutions together. As a Financial Controller for the IT development department of a Swiss Telco, she accompanies the transformation into an agile setup from the beginning.

Bastian takes care of systems since nearly 15 years. He is also an avid speaker and conference organizer.

The nature of his internet-centric position makes him very aware that we need to safeguard the openness and neutrality of the internet on a global scale. This is also why he engages in several groups in Switzerland to work on issues related to net neutrality, security, and surveillance.

Outside of his job, Bastian dedicates much of his time to organizing various conferences and gatherings such as TEDxBern, DrupalCons. Bastian is passionate about Architecture, Circular Economy, the future of work, digital revolution and the impact on society itself.

I am passionate about everything agile and human centered. Having started my career in an old school waterfall environment more than 20 years ago as a software engineer and project manager, I am now happy to enable teams and large organisations to establish agile methods and DevOps. I specifically like the combination (and challenges) of technical and cultural aspects.

VSHN AG

Tobias (aka tobru) is a DevOps Engineer and Partner at VSHN and one of the founding members of VSHN. He loves Open Source and everything about state-of-the-art technologies like Docker, Kubernetes and OpenShift. In his day job he is responsible for the Container Platform team at VSHN, works on the next big thing and brings APPUiO - The Swiss Container Platform - to the next level.

Having worked as a developer, systems engineer and team lead in IT operations, the ideas and concepts behind DevOps are very close to my heart. As I am passionate about coding since my teenage years, I am fascinated by concepts like Infrastructure as Code, Social Coding, and cloud native technologies trying to get hands-on whenever possible. I enjoy lateral thinking and my basic premise is that “we cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them” (Albert Einstein). In my current role I dedicate all my energy to introducing and spreading DevOps principles and practices in the broader organization.
