Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKasper Nissen is a Principal Developer Relations Engineer with 12 years of experience building and advocating for cloud-native systems, currently leading DevRel at Dash0 and serving as a CNCF Ambassador. He combines hands-on platform engineering background—from Site Reliability and Cloud Architect roles at Lunar to staff-level platform work—with a strong community focus as co-founder of Cloud Native Nordics and organizer of Kubernetes Community Days Denmark. Kasper has co-chaired KubeCon EU/NA, speaks internationally, and consistently translates complex infrastructure topics into accessible content for developers and operators. His track record spans product-facing engineering, community building, and conference leadership, giving him a unique view of both technical execution and ecosystem growth. Based in Aarhus, he leverages academic training in computer engineering and international study to bridge practical implementation with strategic community initiatives. One less obvious strength: he frequently blends event organization and technical authorship to amplify underrepresented Nordic cloud-native projects on the global stage.
