Zowie Langdon

CTO / DevOps / Programmer / Founder

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Summary

Hello! I'm 24 years old, often called a natural entrepreneur, an experienced CTO, hobby philosopher and occasional night owl.

As a lover of travelling, learning and life, I want to explore and understand everything innovative, data, tech and business that has a relevant impact on society.

When I'm not happily tinkering, I'll be exercising, travelling, enjoying a movie or listening to yet another audiobook. I also like to express my sometimes chaotic thoughts in writing and notebooks.

I'm most passionate about:
- Innovations like blockchain, AI and reusable straws;
- Python, functional programming (Scala), TypeScript, Go;
- Software and system architectures/distributed systems/microservices;
- DevOps, cloud security, serverless (Ansible/Terraform/Docker/K8s/GCP etc);
- Effective and happy teams (often pretty agile);
- Philosophical questions like what gives life meaning, morality and why randomness is so fascinating;
- Martial arts and calisthenics, both for physical and mental health.
