Seit annähernd 20 Jahren bin ich in den verschiedensten Bereichen der Doka/Umdasch IT tätig.

Begonnen habe ich mit Lotus Notes und war später für die Niederlassungsservices, Citrix, Backup, Vmware, SAN und diverse andere Services im Rechenzentrum verantwortlich. Weiters habe ich mich einige Jahre mit der Integration von neuer Software in unser Rechenzentrum beschäftigt (Axapta, SAP, Siemens Teamcenter, ...).

Zuletzt hatte ich die Möglichkeit über ein Kubernetes-Projekt tiefer in unsere Azure Umgebung einzutauchen und damit begann auch unsere Reise in Richtung "Infrastructure form Code", Identity Server,..

Nachdem die Basis gelegt ist, liegt zum Teil der Fokus auf einer weiteren Vereinfachung und andererseits die Sicherheitsstandards weiterzuentwicklen.

I’m a database admin, speaker of the word “no” and the phrase “this is why we have coding standards”. I’m a spouse, parent, writer, hack poet, hacker, data princess, geek, dungeon master, support group director, spiritual pilgrim. I’ve worked in all kinds of industries, realized QA folks don’t get paid enough, and enjoy breaking things so I can fix them. I enjoy coding, looking at processes and optimizing them, and building things which are useful and beautiful to look at. I would describe myself as a coffee snob and tea addict. I've been a Doctor Who addict since 5th grade. Never stopped loving the TARDIS!

Marquise Dennis

Marquise Dennis

Marquise is a hair stylist with 20 plus years of experience in braiding, extension hairstyling, and natural hair care. After a sudden house fire in 2016 Marquise was forced to relocate to another state leaving her devoted clientele of years behind. As a mother she needed an immediate income with a flexible schedule. She found a local blowout salon that was hiring, but with no previous blowout experience she was hesitant to apply. After a mediocre training session from the salon Marquise knew her level of excellence in blowouts would have to come from within. With lots of practice, dedication, and a bucket of tears she mastered this timeless technique. Because Marquise stayed focused and never gave up, she earned a salon position in management where she began teaching others how to perform fabulous blowouts, that even furthered her love for hairstyling. Marquise has had the pleasure of working on celebrity photo shoots, being lead stylist at industry based pop up shops, as well as worked on major red carpet events such as: The Country Music Awards, Telemundo Awards, Latin Music Awards, J. LO x Guess photo shoot, and numerous wedding and formal events on the infamous Las Vegas Strip.

Nuno Rafael Gomes

Nuno Rafael Gomes

Nuno’s lighthouse, borrowed and adapted from John Maxwell:
– “Sometimes we win, sometimes we learn.”

Discover market opportunities, frame and solve problems, build an organization and its business, and delight customers are hard. But even harder is the journey to unlock your inner self.

Your perceptions and internal belief system shape the reality you sense, keeping you alive but blind most of the time. Very often, you must unlearn what you have learned at school and from your past experiences. In life, to create your own value and uncover your mantra, you must reinterpret yourself and build your own learning path.

Nuno’s self-discovery journey throughout the years connects Agile, Systems and Lean thinking, Kaizen philosophy, Complex Adaptive Systems, and the invisible power of Scrum.

With almost 20 years’ experience playing and learning with different people, teams, and business challenges, Nuno currently works as an independent Lean-Agile Organizational Coach guiding People to achieve their full potential, Teams to perform better, and Organizations to thrive on change.

Nuno is the Creator of Serious Learning, a set of Active Learning methods and games to develop People, Teams, and Organizations at scale (https://medium.com/seriouslearning).

Nuno is also the Founder of Agile Connect®, a learning platform that encourages and supports the widespread adoption of effective Lean & Agile thinking and practices (https://www.agileconnect.org).

Some highlights from the past:
– Founded Iosae in 2004, a Professional Services startup. Left in 2010. Returned in 2016.
– Joined Farfetch in 2010, back then a small e-commerce fashion startup with only 4 developers and less than 30 people. Left in 2016.
– Founded Bitmind in 2003, an Industrial Engineering startup. Left in 2005.
