Pitching the DevOps Engineering Service Products With Recruiters
00:03 I'm being fine, how do you do? I'm doing very well, my friend, very well. Um, my call is really two-fold to be on a set.
00:11 Um, number one, you sent your CV onto a job that I was recruiting for. Um, I got it through on, um, broken, which kind of passes CVs for my applications on sites like read, et cetera, et cetera.
00:25 So, Yes. You applied for a CVK's role that I have on. I appreciate. I don't think from your CV, you look CVK, but that's fine.
00:35 I thought it would definitely be worth us getting connected anyway. I'm, my name's xxx. Other than that. And I'm a DevOps contract consultant.
00:44 So you're profile is very, very high level. So yeah. I can see from your LinkedIn, it seems like you're kind of running your own consultant, which is great.
00:53 So tell me a little bit about yourself, I'm in your current situation. I'm a dev AI ops engineer, which I have contracted all over the globe.
01:03 I'm looking for a new contract at the moment. And I'm also, I have also created a product service for the companies to migrate them to the artificial intelligence.
01:16 The AI site, which is a revolution right now in the last 10 years, It was all the cloud the DevOps engineers was moving the companies to the cloud right now, it is moving to the AI site.
01:29 So I created a service product for the companies to deliver them to the AI site. I have done multiple AI contracts, which included the development and operations in the companies.
01:43 I work with my last contract with the day of with Goldman Sachs with the telco company. What I do is I'm very efficient on the day as the well as the operation site and I'm able to integrate the AI to the pipelines of the companies where you can create great value for them, though, such as if there's
02:08 hundreds of developers in the company and nobody is putting commit notes onto their commits. I will be able to create a system for the company, for them to be able to have the commit notes, so the middle managers and the top managers can reach the delivery on demand.
02:25 So I'm adding those AI features to companies, application lifecycle management, so they can release their software in a much shorter time.
02:37 Sounds really good. It sounds like a really needed service, especially as the World Crime Transition to a post AI landscape, like I said, to be able to kind of combine that with traditional DevOps engineering.
02:48 I think it's a super relevant skill set to have. So tell me about your situation, I looked at E-linked in and it seemed like you're actually hiring a contract to right now, as well as looking for a contract yourself.
03:00 What's your kind of, I guess, specific requirements at the moment, where you want to right now yourself personally? I'm personally right now, I'm looking for the new contract for myself.
03:11 Whenever I don't have a service product that is sold, I'm working in normal DevOps contracts and making sure that I'm at the top of the hands-on experience, but whenever I sell the service products, I have the existing contracting team that goes into the companies and I market those services with the
03:33 recruiters, with HR, with the training partners, to the CEOs, the CFOs, and the CEOs, to the companies, for them to be able to migrate them to the AI world.
03:45 So I'm doing both at the same time, but I'm a contractor, editor, editor, editor, editor, who has the skill set for the AI, but I'm also documenting and giving those services for the companies, whoever needs them.
04:00 So I'm doing both of them, though, but my main core is being a DevOps contractor. The service site is on the site whenever, because it's a long-term contractors, I get contracts around the year.
04:14 We go in with four different roles to the companies. It's a big setup though. It doesn't interfere with my three months So six-month contracting, and I don't do two jobs at the same time.
04:29 No, it's interesting, kind of business model. I mean, it sounds like it can be very beneficial for you. Yes, which is good.
04:38 So starting with obviously yourself is a developed contract, so as you mentioned that's what your preference is. How have you been finding the market at the moment, and you've got very, very strong CV, You have to even see you've got a bit in quick term Bitcoin.
04:51 You're something that I've done a lot of work in Bitcoin market, in particular, we've bought a few different kind of companies that doesn't fly by and see what's typically in Bitcoin, build them Bitcoin.
05:02 So that's always worth having a child as well. How have you been finding a market, you've been seeing a very strong CV?
05:10 It's the device market I have seen, the Goldman Sachs contract was a U.S. contract, and previous contract was in Switzerland.
05:18 I live in Cambridge so I'm paying the taxes in the UK, but I have never seen the market so dry.
05:24 So this is also one of the reasons that I'm building a service product for the enterprises because if I can't land the contract, I always focus on working on my professional skills and I'm building this framework coaching and implementation for the enterprises.
05:42 So even though the market is dry, I have a lot of my plate to do in terms of migrating the companies to the AI.
05:49 Dave AI ops. But the market is dry for enhanced for you. The market is the dry that has ever been, I guess.
06:02 Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I've got some stuff coming on, which could be How do you sound about bringing in a few developed engineers to help them with a technical transformation away from data centers into a service AWS environment?
06:21 All right. This will require strong Kubernetes to perform Jenkins GitHub Actions as a text up as what has made WS, obviously AWS Core.
06:31 They'll be up to free of four roles for that, so I've got a few people already who I'm I know I'm happy to be forward, but I'd also be happy to put you on that because you or 500 service experience, and you've clearly worked on big enterprise level migration projects.
06:45 That role's flated to come on on the first of May. That's when that project has been used when they get a project sign off.
06:51 That's why I've been told by my pilot contact those who had a cloud. What are you looking for in regards to day-rate item?
06:57 I am very flexible, especially in this dry market. I became a yes man. So I will just adapt to the customer's rate.
07:08 Yeah, it is not reasonable to say, oh, I made this much money. I expect that much. The world is screwed up in terms of IT contracting inside the UK.
07:24 So I'm not going to, I will have a very open mind for inside roles, outside roles. So I will make sure that because my main thing is as long as I'm getting contracts and I'm in this AI space I want to make sure that I'm always working and having these hands-on skills getting implemented all the time
07:47 At the title, waste changes though. So for now, if I get a lower rate contract, it's not the end of the world.
07:56 So you'll have to kind of go the same way, basically, you'll go up with the market and down with the market.
08:01 You just want to stay on the safe load. Yes, yes. And most of the time I get the top rates in the contracts, if you look at my projects, but if I get this lowball offer, I might accept it and in this climate, I will accept it, though.
08:20 But most of the time, I don't get that many low-balloffers. I appreciate that. What is a low-balloffer for yourself? Just give me kind of a ballpark.
08:29 Can't get right out of the way you be willing. Just a ballpark. Because obviously, I don't want to come to you with stuff that's insulting you.
08:36 Or stuff that. Like, like, should it be good to have ballpark? 200 pounds per day. It will be a low-balloffer.
08:45 Yeah. I do get those. There's these all these emails because I have an automation system in the background. I do get those offers, but I will try to make sure that I'm polite, professional, keeping it real.
08:59 So, but the reality is if the offer is too low, like 200 pounds, even for example, I ran out of cash and I had to say yes.
09:09 After a while, I will get an offer for 800,000 pounds that I will communicate it with the customer, but right now the market is so dry, that I'm like, all right, so let's go with the rates and what is on the market though.
09:26 There was a tool that sounds good. I also wanted to touch on the Bitcoin that you mentioned on your CV, Bitcoin, Yes, Bitcoin service because I couldn't see it on these clients just for you looking for you.
09:36 That was way of studying, shouldn't it? That kind of Bitcoin project was usually working on that white label project. I've built the world's biggest top 10 tier Bitcoin exchange, which is called the BitSeed Trader.
09:47 the owner is right now in the Forbes 500, that was 12 years ago or 11 years ago. They were very early starters in the Bitcoin space.
09:59 They are called BTC Trader. I have good relationships with them and you can see them on my references. If you scroll down deep down I have 50 contracts that's as completed.
10:11 They are at the bottom. They are called BTC Trader. If you go to their website, you will be able to confirm that they are in the top 10 world light.
10:23 So that's a very high level. Because I've done some Bitcoin in particular. It's something like what it means, more or less.
10:30 It's focusing on a lot. It's a rustle creature, but it's been typically done a lot in the Bitcoin space. To know that obviously you built a BQC trading system right from the inception of Bitcoin.
10:40 12 years ago, it's super relevant and you've been looking at other kind of work pre-contracts and means how they're done.
10:47 For the Bitcoin side, before we go on, the main thing for the Bitcoin is the Trostos, such as right now I have indefinitely to remain.
10:55 I'm looking at the security clear draws. The Trost and the recommendation from them is I think very important, But yes, for your question, in the beginning of the conversation, you mentioned about being DV-clear, right now I'm SC eligible and in four months time, I will get the British citizenship for
11:20 your information. Yeah, I mean, that's the worst-eating gap, sort of, obviously, this UK TV created as a high-stie high, so I see people, you've actually got it already.
11:32 And I appreciate, like I said, that role was from a while ago, anyway, it's still live actually, because it's possible to find UK TV created candidates.
11:42 Yeah, knowing that you're eligible for SD-clivity form. If you eligible now, I'm eligible. And I've worked in this government in the past, and I get BPSS, and I got to storing background checks.
11:57 So in terms of getting the background checks, ILR and the BPSS, I have done that multiple times. Perfect, absolutely perfect.
12:08 So yeah, that's something we're keeping caption as well. In Microsoft, I do have a CK and DBP as well as quite a lot of time because I'm a lot my time based and so on and so based.
12:18 So typically, you get a lot of kind of DBP in a CK, especially come summertime. That's a very busy, busy mark in the very busy time, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in in in in government contracts.
12:31 So, um, so Microsoft has already done some of the best opportunities, I've got, I think right now that that's coming in a week.
12:36 So, I think it's key contapses on that, as well as kind of continuing this chat, because you've got an absolute equality CV.
12:43 You've worked some really, really, really good sites, and you've really been investing your best in what you did for a while.
12:48 So to hear that you're not able to find into your opportunities or if you come by surprising, because I was able to support such a strong profile.
12:56 But the market is slow, though. I do talk to friends, the market is slow. I got a question before you before the end of this conversation.
13:05 I'm right now working on a site called HECO-RANK to showcase my hands-on skills. Do you guys get that requirement from the customers to get Hacker-RANK or is it the first time you heard about HECO-RANK?
13:20 Hacker-RANK? Yes. So that word doesn't ring about me. If I make it repeat, it inspires. It is a hands-on testing website for the customers, so I want to make sure that I get tested before I go into interiors, so I get a higher closing rate, but you never heard them out heckerink.
13:42 Now, I look it up though. I look it up. I only, I typically just do devil's work myself, we are, we're met with specialist equipment agencies.
13:50 We have people doing different different things, but very much specializing in what they do. All right. So, I haven't heard of that correct, but I'm very open to looking into it, because I have to meet with get to know stuff like this, and you'll see these very interesting because it will be doing isn't
14:03 just very, very well rounded, basically, and it's on a lot different kind of high level projects. So, for me to learn about that, it's really useful.
14:13 Yes. All right. All right. Feel free to ask any questions, though. And we are connected and linked in, I guess, right?
14:21 Yes. Absolutely. We are connected, we just get to this morning, which we speak fantastic. I did notice one thing I appreciate, obviously, I'm not sure you mentioned you're looking to yourself personally, that's really my number one priority trying to find you seven because DevOps is my core market.
14:37 I have seen that you posted a contract well yourself that you've got kind of released, trained, engineering contract well at the moment that you're looking for yourself.
14:43 How are you finding recruiting for that most typically? I'm only a recruiting contractor who have skin in the game, like the Goldman Sachs contract that I have done.
14:52 I'm training them in the background for them to be able to do the dev AI ops, which is a very new field though.
15:01 So I'm recruiting them, training them, but they're all skin in the game. People that goes into service-based contracts for a thousand mandates to be able to deliver the continuous integration and continuous delivery for billion-dollar plus enterprises with hundred plus team members.
15:20 This is the product that I'm building in DevOps that's engineering in the background. For that, there is a market and I clearly see the need and I did talk to customers.
15:31 The main driver there is the customers appetite to open up the right now. If the DevOps market is not moving, even though there is a lot of AI talk that is going on, the companies are a little bit reluctant at this moment, because of the interest rates, I suppose, or the elections in the U.S., there's
15:52 like so many unknowns or the wars. This DevOps space needs some, I guess, clarity in the market for the finance to move.
16:01 Yeah, no, it's interesting. So, that the project you were on the global government that you're going to be moving to kind of a bit more kind of passive at a minute?
16:09 No, the DevOps, the Goldman Sachs is not passive. I completed that contract, but from that contract, I created the DevOps engineering, this AIOps framework, which I am marketing to the customers directly, though, to the recruiters, as although such as yourself, you are in the DevOps space.
16:32 I will send you the link for the DevOps engineering website. You will be able to pitch it to your customers.
16:38 We go in with four contractors and deliver a 1,000-month project with four people come transforming the enterprise to the AI.
16:49 So that's called good-dev AI ops. Yeah, I totally appreciate that. It's good to get information and not to the good team key to do on the side.
16:59 It's good to obviously what you're doing is unprecedented in a lot of ways and there will be a lot of demands for that.
17:04 I can also keep, you do occasionally get roles where people are asking for their abstentionnaires, because I do also help implementing AI strategies in this way, so I can keep you on the loop for anything like that, because of my deficit.
17:15 Yes, that's going to be mainstream in three to four years now, but you have to get prepped up right now, though.
17:24 It's really, it's really good tool, and it's really good things to be doing. So, yeah, let's say a touch on all of this and everything that we've kind of spoken about.
17:34 I think your great CV was really, really good to chat, and yeah, we'll speak soon. Alright, thank you very much, Sanchez.
17:42 Thank you. Thank you.
