Not your typical tech speaker. From Apollo to Legos to Black Mirror, you won't find a "boring deck with code" here.
From bricking my first Tandy computer (sorry Dad) to building side apps people love, I have experience tinkering and building from scratch.
My philosophy on software delivery comes from hard-won experience in a variety of industries. I've seen what works and what DOESN'T.
Brendan did his best.
Brendan O'Leary is a Senior Developer Evangelist for GitLab who connects with developers, contributes to open source projects, and shares his work with about cutting-edge technologies on conference panels, meetups, in contributed articles and on blogs.
Brendan O'Leary is a Senior Developer Evangelist at GitLab, the first single application for the DevSecOps lifecycle. He has a passion for software development and iterating on processes just as quickly as we iterate on code. Working with customers to deliver value is what drives Brendan's passion for DevOps and smooth CI/CD implementation. Brendan has worked with a wide range of customers - from the nation's top healthcare institutions to environmental services companies to the Department of Defense. Outside of work, you'll find Brendan with 1 to 4 kids hanging off of him at any given time or occasionally finding a moment alone to build something in his workshop.

My entire career, my passion has been driven by the ability to level up engineers.
Originally this was as an Engineering and Product Manager at several software companies, but more recently, I've been privileged to work on developer tooling directly at GitLab. In 2020, I changed roles to be a Developer Evangelist at GitLab, and you can find my 2020 Developer Evangelist Plan here.
