EP15 - Career Development & Ops to DevOps with April Edwards

In this episode I am joined by the awesome April Edwards. 

April is an Azure Advocate and Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft and has the most fascinating story to tell when it comes to how she found her calling in a career in tech after almost going down a few other paths.  

We discuss transitioning from Ops to DevOps, impostor syndrome, the importance of being you, getting comfortable with not knowing everything in tech and we confirm that you are Dev/Tech enough! 

April also shares her thoughts on Work Life Balance vs Work Life Integration when we discuss how Covid-19 has impacted her role and day to day life as well as how she is surviving lockdown.
