Great Team
Hi, my name is Martin and I’m a DevOps manager. I started my career at DHL ITS back in 2015, as part-time employee in Service Desk organization. Since then, I was lucky to explore various roles starting from Application support, Service Owner, Solution Owner, Scrum Master and as of 2022 I’m in the position of DevOps Manager. We are applying best practices from a development and operation point of view. We have an experienced team who is always willing to help. No challenge is too little or too big, we are working together as a team and we leave no man behind.

Looking forward to having you onboard!
