Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid Holder is an OpenShift Specialist Solution Architect with eight years focused on Kubernetes and the broader cloud-native stack, now bringing hands-on pre-sales and architectural expertise to Red Hat from a background at SUSE/Rancher. He excels at translating complex platform capabilities—K8s, Rancher, Istio/service mesh, Prometheus/Grafana, and IaC tools like Terraform and Pulumi—into practical proofs-of-concept, workshops, and partner enablement. David’s career traces a deep operational foundation in virtualization and storage with Dell EMC, HPE and VMware roles, giving him rare empathy for both infrastructure teams and developer-first platform initiatives. Based in Oregon (UK), he combines technical evangelism with field experience delivering training and masterclasses, and often surfaces pragmatic automation approaches using Go and CI/CD pipelines. Notably, his path from systems administration to cloud-native architect informs a consultancy style that balances product demos with sustainable, production-ready architecture.
