Fiona McCarthy spent over twenty years in aviation, helping build medical evacuation networks and humanitarian air operations across Africa. She led international panels on how civilian crews were often the real backbone behind military missions on the continent, navigating high-stakes logistics that made debugging look easy. After watching aviation evolve from hands-on flying to drones and complex automation, she pivoted into digital media, co-founding a fast-growing digital-first radio platform despite having no radio or marketing background.
Fiona's outsider perspective revealed how digital tools often miss real human behaviour, and she now focuses on how developers can design tech that measures authenticity, not vanity metrics.

Christian has been on a mission to automate the universe since 1998. His philosophy is simple: if a human can install it, configure it, or patch it — a script should probably do it better.

He joined the EUC-tech family in 2006 and was one of the early developers behind the legendary automation tool “NetInstall” — long before it became Ivanti DSM and long before people called everything “DevOps.”

When he’s not turning complex environments into obedient automated workflows, Christian trades CPUs for RPMs. Anything with an engine, noise, and questionable speed limits fills the same emotional space as a clean deployment log.

In short: if it runs on electrons or gasoline, he’s probably trying to make it faster — or automated.

Toli is a Software Engineering Practitioner who believes that learning and working together are catalysts for high-performing software-first teams who care about how their software serves their customers.

Toli's career began in the field of maths and physics, which led him into the world of software engineering, where he spent his formative first few years learning the craft while writing algorithms for solving large-scale "travelling-sales-person" problems across the globe. He has since worked with Brent from The Phoenix Project for a B2B energy company, the initial core team at cinch to build the fastest-growing unicorn in UK startup history, while he is currently helping Flipdish build the next generation of restaurant tech.

Throughout this journey, Toli fell in love with DevOps, Observability and Team Topologies, while he discovered a new passion for serverless, event-driven socio-technical architectural paradigms and product thinking.

I’m Tatiana Mikhaleva, a Docker Captain, GitKraken Ambassador, Notion Ambassador, DevOps engineer, and the girl behind DevOps.Pink — a corner of the internet where cloud automation gets clarity, community, and just a hint of pink rebellion.

💾 I’ve been shaping the cloud for years, working with AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform, and (of course) Docker. What really excites me is taking messy, fragile systems and turning them into something clean, automated, and reliable — the kind of systems that give engineers back their time (and sanity!).

💛 I run DevOps.Pink, where I’ve built a community of engineers who want real-world DevOps without the gatekeeping. I write in-depth, step-by-step guides that make complex tech feel approachable — not just for seasoned pros, but for anyone who wants to break into DevOps. And yes, I put a special spotlight on women in tech because this space needs more support, more voices, and fewer barriers.

🚀 My dream is to make DevOps exciting instead of exhausting, and to show that cloud and containers don’t have to be a mystery. They can be a superpower.

🐳 As a Docker Captain, I love sharing everything I’ve learned — from Kubernetes clusters to CI/CD pipelines — so others can build better, faster, and with more confidence.

💖 Tech is more than tools. I like to make it human: automate the boring stuff, bring structure to chaos, and make the process creative and fun. And if that means breaking some old rules, perfect.

If you’re building something big, something new, or something that scares you just a little… I’m already on board. Let’s make DevOps a place where everyone can thrive!
