Jul 2017 - Present
The CNCF ambassadorship is not an employment, but volunteering. I am running three meetup groups for Kubernetes and cloud native computing in Finland, in Helsinki, Tampere and Turku. All events are posted under the Kubernetes-Finland meetup group. Further, I am actively participating in speaking at KubeCons and related CNCF or community events. I was appointed Top Cloud Native Ambassador of 2017, together with Sarah Novotny. The CNCF ambassadorship is not an employment, but volunteering.
