It’s been a long time I wanted to write a bit more about what happened. 2025 (and end of 2024) was huge! Last available post in that spirit was about 2023.

Work and pleasure, kind of summary of 2025

So let’s start a bit before 2025, as it will put the context for 2025. End of 2024, after more than 5 years working at Docker, I’ve been made aware that my position will be removed. RIF as they said. Let’s be honest: it was and unexpected surprise. But life is made of those. And somteims the best you can, in some way, is to embrace them. And that’s what started to shape the year 2025!

Highlights

• I joined Dagger team 🚀
• I became a Docker Captain 🐳
• I gave 6 talks at 5 different conferences, half of them in English
