Building upon existing technology is at the heart of much technical innovation and is the essence of open source culture, and embracing our history provides invaluable perspective.

Kat Cosgrove, a lead developer advocate at Dell and Kubernetes release team member, joins us to talk DevOps culture, reinventing ourselves and our technology, and how to get involved in projects like Kubernetes.

Kat Cosgrove

In her role as a Lead Developer Advocate at Dell, Kat focuses on the growth and nurturing of open source through authentic contribution. In particular, her specialties are approachable 101-level content and deep dives on the history of technology, with a particular focus on DevOps and cloud native. She has served on the Kubernetes release team since v1.22.

When she’s not at a conference, she spends her time playing video games, watching horror movies, or reading science fiction, but her current hyperfixation is film photography. She lives in Scotland with her cat, Espresso, who is the real brains behind the operation and actually ghostwriting all of her tweets.
