Hi, it's me Lucas Heringer

About Me

With over 20 years of experience in IT services, I am a DevOps specialist with a proven ability to architect innovative, resilient, and efficient infrastructures tailored to meet complex organizational needs. My career spans diverse industries and environments, where I've consistently delivered impactful results by combining technical expertise with a collaborative approach.

Currently, I lead DevOps initiatives at Informa TechTarget, where I oversee critical projects such as migrating Jenkins instances to AWS Cloud Infrastructure and transitioning SSO solutions with zero downtime. My journey is underscored by a proven track record of automating deployment pipelines, architecting Kubernetes clusters, and fostering a culture of collaboration across global, multicultural teams.

My passion lies in bridging the gap between development and operations, leveraging tools like Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines to deliver seamless integrations. Holding certifications as a Kubernetes Administrator, Jenkins Engineer, and Professional Scrum Master, I ensure that every project I undertake meets the highest standards of quality and efficiency.

Outside the professional realm, I thrive on the challenge of problem-solving, learning new technologies, and contributing to open-source initiatives. My global perspective, having worked with teams across continents, has shaped my ability to adapt and excel in dynamic environments.
