Return to Cloud Native Computing Topics

Pini Reznik is CTO and cofounder of Container Solutions, a consultancy that is helping companies to successfully adopt cloud native technologies and practices.

In the five years of existence of Container Solutions, they’ve participated and led dozens of cloud native transformations and collected extensive hands-on experience in both technical and organizational aspects of the transformation.

Jamie Dobson is cofounder and CEO of Container Solutions, a professional services consultancy specializing in cloud migration. A first encounter with a BBC computer and BASIC at the age of nine launched a lifelong passion for programming and software development. He eventually developed a matching passion for coaching and organizational strategy to help humans work effectively and beneficially with the technology that increasingly drives our lives.

Michelle Gienow is a web developer, JAMstack evangelist, and former journalist whose clients include The New Stack, Linux Foundation, New York Times, and Discovery Channel, among many. She is happiest when working amid the fascinating confluence of technology and writing, whether it’s JavaScript code or cloud native principles.
