Katharina Sick
I'm passionate about building user-friendly solutions with a focus on cloud native technologies, Kubernetes, and developer experience.
I started in mobile and backend development, where DevOps tasks often felt slow, repetitive, and complex. Discovering platform engineering showed me how better workflows can reduce cognitive load and make developers' lives easier. Since then, I’ve focused on making complex cloud native topics understandable for humans.
Today, as a Developer Programs Engineer at Dynatrace, I’m excited to focus on developer experience, community building, and open source.
Session
Breaking into DevOps often means bouncing between perfect tutorials and messy production. The gap? Tools taught in isolation, leaving juniors to figure out connections in practice. This talk explores how to bridge that gap by making connections visible, creating safe spaces to learn and focusing on the "why," not just the "how," so teams can onboard better and juniors can grow without overwhelm.
