Grow your [engineering] brand while putting privacy first

At the last DevOps meetup in Prague, I stepped on stage with a clear goal: to help others grow, not just technically, but professionally. As I spoke, I walked the audience through why building a personal brand matters in today’s industry, especially as many of us rely on platforms that don’t always align with our values or long-term goals.

I shared real challenges I’ve seen with these tools and then shifted the focus toward opportunity of showing how privacy-first technologies and thoughtful career choices can give people more control, resilience, and confidence in their work.

By the end of the presentation, the emphasis wasn’t just on technology, but on empowering people to make decisions that support their growth and future leadership potential.
