Guests of Arrested DevOps

Ranjib Dey

I am a system administrator with PagerDuty. Along with rest of our team, I try to design systems that can withstand major outages. Before joining PagerDuty, I worked at Google, ThoughtWorks etc, where I was working with private build/deployment cloud, also enabling continuous delivery & cloud adoption. I did my masters in Life Science (Bioinformatics), and I always try to create infrastructure like living systems.

Rein Henrichs

Rein is a strange sort of software developer who spends more time thinking about systems made with people than systems made with computers. He believes that most technical problems are really people problems, and that people problems can be solved by listening to, caring for, and helping each other. Talking about himself in the third person makes him uncomfortable, but he is working on it. He also wrote a database in Haskell once, so he has that going for him, which is nice.

Reuben Dunn

Reuben Dunn is the DevOps Practice Lead at Fraedom - a payment, expense and travel SaaS platform. Reuben is influencing a transformation around continuous learning, scientific experimentation and Fraedom’s newly formed SRE team. Reuben started in the Windows Ops space cutting his teeth on a DEC server running NT Server 3.51, before moving into development roles after needing to script users into AD. In the development roles, he found himself doing the build & deploys, then found belonging in the DevOps Space. Reuben is passionate about a sustainable transformation for DevOps in the windows space.

Reuben enjoys life with his wife and 4 kids on a rural section in the south-east of Auckland. Reuben is also the lead organiser for DevOpsDays Wellington which ran earlier this year.

When not immersed in all things OSS and cloud-native, they can be found hanging out with their wife and pets, making candles, cooking, or gaming.
