Meet Nicola, our DevOps Engineer. In this interview, discover his journey from a Linux apprenticeship at PostFinance and working with Kubernetes at Peak Scale to joining linkyard – and find out why giving up is never an option for him until he’s found the right solution.

What is your role at linkyard and what are your responsibilities?
At linkyard, my primary focus will be on Phonemos, covering everything from third-level support to client management.

Describe your professional background.
I have spent several years working in the cloud-native space. At Peak Scale, I was responsible for planning, building, and maintaining mission-critical Kubernetes environments – whether on-prem with Talos, AWS, or GCP – using GitOps, infrastructure as code, and modern security practices. My roots, however, are in the Linux world; I completed my apprenticeship at PostFinance within their RHEL/Debian team.

How would you describe yourself in one sentence?
I would describe myself as persistent. Giving up isn't an option for me until I’ve found the right solution.

What do you like to do in your free time?
In my free time, I mostly focus on my family, friends, and all kinds of sports.

Which app could you not live without?
"Not live without" might be a bit of an exaggeration, but Claude is definitely handy.
