A year ago today was my last day at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. As part of the many reorganizations, HPE were offering very generous redundancy packages at that time and I decided to take them up on their offer and go back to University (FOM), to study Computer Science in Cologne.
I’m now at the end of the first year, and I’m absolutely loving it! It’s such an enormous privilege to be able to concentrate just on learning, given my age and the fact that I have two (almost grown-up) kids.
To stay on top of all the developments around cloud computing I also work part-time at a small Cloud Consultancy, supporting customers on their journey to cloud; by now I’ve become pretty experienced on all things related to Containers and Security too. Serverless will be next!
In the process I’ve also lost over 40lbs – can’t complain! There’re still a couple of pounds to go, though …

Congratulations to the career change, the successful first year “back in school”, and envy the weight loss 🙂
Good to hear from you!
One year already? On one hand it feels like it was yesterday, on the other one it feels it have been ages!
Keep on rockin’ and a “wow” on the weight loss!!!
Liebe Grüße – Siggi
