Adolfo Brandes will be your trainer. Adolfo started out as an English teacher, but a talent for programming computers shaped his early career. He developed everything from an Asterisk-based PBX to the odd Linux kernel driver, including several websites and an AGPL3 Python-backed web game. Nevertheless, in his mid-thirties Adolfo saw the opportunity to unite two talents, and once more turned to mentoring by teaching developers how to contribute to OpenStack more efficiently. Most recently, he joined the hastexo team to continue delivering OpenStack training, as well high-availability and high-scalability consulting.
