Janis Siders was responsible for my internship at Latvenergo, during that time he explained me the fundamentals and principles of DevOps and helped me learn them by providing real life examples of usage. With Janis mentorship and supervision I was able to learn and gain new knowledge not only about DevOps and project management fundamentals but also about different options and methodologies for managing the development pipeline. Janis also inspired and motivated me to choose these topics as basis for my dissertation at University in Denmark, Roskilde, my professors were very pleased that I chose to write about topic which extended my knowledge about project and development management that was not part of our curriculum. After my internship I was able to use this gained knowledge to suggest or provide consultation/analysis for other companies wanting to change, adjust or optimize their IT efficiency by either automating or optimizing some parts of development pipeline. I would suggest Janis as mentor for other interns or future IT Specialists wanting to learn new things about project and development management. Janis has a way of explaining things in a good understandable manner, which helped a lot and in my case motivated and interested me to learn and practice more things related to DevOps after my internship.
