Guests of Arrested DevOps

Rob is a Senior Software Engineer on the Windows Team at Puppet Labs, where we make Windows moar awesome! He has a passion for automation and making hard concepts simple. Rob is also the creator and primary maintainer of Chocolatey, a package manager for Windows. His past as an artist has shaped the way he thinks about and develops code. Rob lives in Kansas where he spends time with his wife and two children, cheers on the Royals, and avoids tornadoes.

Robert Werner

Robert is the CTO of Leapter, where he is focused on solving a critical paradox in modern software development: while AI coding tools promise acceleration, they often amplify the cognitive load on developers through a sprawl of untrusted, hard-to-verify code.

His career has been defined by leading high-stakes technical initiatives: from designing critical systems as a Lead Architect at DHL, to heading product development for a Bosch FinTech spin-off, to driving cloud-native adoption for enterprise customers at Pivotal (later VMware/Broadcom).

Robyn Bergeron

Robyn Bergeron is a Community Architect at Ansible, building community bridges and inspiring contributors to do great things. She’s been a sysadmin, program manager, business analyst, and developer advocate in past lives, and started her career in open source at Red Hat, where she was the Fedora Project Leader.

Roderick Randolph

Roderick is a Lead Software Engineer at Capital One where he leads all things DevOps for the Capital One Canada business including building, automating, and migrating infrastructure to the cloud. He currently lives in Toronto but is originally from a small town in the State of Virginia.

Infovore, product developer, and a board game geek 🤓. Writes about development practice on Medium. Founded Digma.ai, a development observability opensource platform.

Ross Clanton

DevOps enthusiast and Sr. Ops Leader with 16 years of IT experience at Target. My focus has been on introducing LEAN approaches to technology service delivery. I have led IT Ops, Engineering, IT Security, Enterprise Architecture, and Business Intelligence organizations. Through that time I’ve gained empathy for the challenges faced across different IT functions in large enterprises and perspective on the business and technology trends that are changing the industry, which has further fueled my passion for DevOps as a path forward. Beyond that, I’m a husband, father of two, Alaskan, MBA, owner of a Thai restaurant, business/technology advisor, enjoy DIY home construction, and not very good at sleep or work/life balance… My views expressed are my own…

Ryn Daniels

Ryn Daniels is a senior operations engineer at Etsy who got their start in programming with TI-80 calculators back when Geocities was still cool, and these days has opinions on things like ‘the cloud’ and ‘devops’. Before escaping to the world of operations, they spent a few years doing R&D and systems engineering in the corporate world. They live in Brooklyn with a perfectly reasonable number of cats, and in their spare time can often be found rock-climbing or hand crafting knitted server koozies for the data center. They are co-author of O’Reilly Media’s Effective DevOps.
