About me
EMEA Sr Cloud Services Black Belt at Red Hat
CK{A,S,AD} | Azure SA Expert | RHCA lvl V | CCNP | MsC Telco Eng. | MsC in AI/ML
I’m Roberto Carratalá, an IT professional with more than ten years of experience in the industry of Linux, Virtualization, Cloud, DevOps and Kubernetes/OpenShift.
Currently I am working as a Senior Cloud Services Black Belt for Red Hat, focused in OpenShift Cloud Services, DevSecOps, CICD and Service Mesh, helping the customers to achieve their goals and objectives with linux, cloud and containers in public and private environments.
Although I work for Red Hat I still consider myself a Linux Geek and a Unix fanboy, always searching for new tech to learn and try!
In my free time, I really like basketball (watch and play also!), and spend time with my friends and family.
