July 2017 - July 2020
Teaching others and seeing the lightbulb go off when a concept is realized is a compelling experience for me. In my effort to educate teams at IBM about new Open Source projects I realized that giving the same presentation to team after team was an inefficient method. So I created "Let's Talk" which is a group of education modules that have an intense focus on hands-on learning using examples hosted on GitHub. We scheduled live presentations and recorded them for future consumption and they featured code examples accompanied by a tutorial-like presentation.
My main goal with this series was to provide self-sufficient materials for onboarding new-hires and people new to the technology. Hands-on examples were integral for this effort as they gave people the resources & examples they need to get off the ground. External references and documentation were heavily leveraged to demonstrate that all the information is available online.
Some of the Topics : Ansible, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Travis, Python
