Sebastian has been involved in deep tech for two decades. He's helped pioneer browser test automation (Sauce Labs) and advanced cloud-native PKI (Smallstep), and he has now found his passion in unlocking runnable knowledge bases for teams.
A German national living abroad in the United States, he's thrilled to speak at conferences everywhere to trail-blaze the way to restore faith in internal ops docs once and for all.

An IDE for Ops Should Be Integral to Your Docs
Markdown is something you are already using. But do you colocate your internal docs with code? We will unpack how to use open source to record and share tribal knowledge buried in your team's bash aliases & histories – ensuring code and internal docs will no longer diverge.
We'll illustrate how Notebooks, Devcontainers, Web Components, and the VS Code platform, first conceived for analysis, excel at delivering runnable internal docs, reliably describing your team’s tasks, workflows, and solutions. An IDE for Ops is a human-centric approach that isn’t mutually exclusive with CI/CD.
We will learn:
1. Open tech applied for shareable and reliable docs via notebooks
2. How to bridge terminal, browser, and editor
3. Complementary nature with existing best practices
This approach paves the way to DevX & OpsX equilibrium. Allowing devs to trust abstractions (pipelines and internal platforms) while teams owning them benefit from the transparency of runnable docs' self-documenting properties.
Crossing the Dev-Ops Chasm with Typed Environment Variables
Containers, K8s, and the Cloud have positively impacted service delivery. But, have Dev and Ops benefited equally?
Outside complexity, separating workload concerns along the fault lines of the Process Model and POSIX (12factor.net), dating back to the 80s, runs against humans fragile flow state that’s best served when developing at the speed of thought.
Moving more DevOps upstream only complicates this. Humans are not workloads, and their environments are coupled to their devices. It works on my machine, right?
We'll explore a concrete Type System for the ENV endearingly called Owl 🦉 Store. A step toward moving Dev-Ops from zero-sum to positive-sum separating around mutual concerns. As a CRD, it should be in every repo.
We’ll learn:
1. How the Custom Resource Definition breaks down into a powerful type system.
2. Triangularity between ENV variables (key, value, type); plus validation & resolution.
3. How The Owl unlocks portability, better secrets-hygiene, and much-needed tooling.
