Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKevin Konrad is a Head of Learning & Development and Senior DevOps & AI Engineer with 11 years of experience building cloud-native automation and AI-driven operational solutions from Germany. He leads learning initiatives at skillbyte while architecting "everything as code" approaches that combine GCP, CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code to accelerate customer transformations. Kevin is an obsessive automation advocate—his open-source contributions to fish-shell and oh-my-fish improve CLI ergonomics and testing workflows, reflecting a focus on developer experience and reproducible tooling. Formerly a DevOps engineer at Unicepta and a developer at anynines, he bridges engineering and education to both deliver systems and upskill teams. Unusually, he pairs hands-on shell scripting and test automation expertise with a formal Master’s in Computer Science, making him equally comfortable teaching concepts as shipping production-grade automation.
