das Neves

David das Neves lives with his wife and a small Norwich Terrier close to Dachau, Germany. He was born and grew up in Germany, but his name is Portuguese and means "from the snows.". He is a typical IT guy and started his career as a software engineer. Afterward, he moved into consultancy and customer-facing roles at companies like Microsoft and Google, with the latest stop being Media Markt Saturn. There he works as a Principal Engineer focusing on the Cloud topics, directly reporting to the VP level. Besides his work, he is strongly connected to the community, writes articles, frequently posts on LinkedIn, organizes several User Groups and events in EMEA, and speaks at international conferences. Acknowledgement: I want to thank my wife, who is tolerating my huge time investments towards my work and this book. You are allowing me to do so.
