Welcome back to another Lisa at the Edge Episode.
I am joined by the awesome Anaïs Urlichs. Anaïs begins a new role this week as Developer Advocate at Aqua Security, she is a CNCF Ambassador and a GitHub Star! Anaïs has had an interesting career journey so far. So of course I asked her to share that with us. We hear how technology was not the first profession which Anaïs dreamed about, can you guess what she wanted to be when she was young? Listen to find out!
