24. The Life of a Cloud Advocate
24. Collecting Azure feedback, advocate of all new things & get certified - with Thomas Maurer
In this episode, we talk with Thomas Maurer about what keeps him busy on a day-to-day basis. He tells us the two most important aspects of his job as a Senior Cloud Advocate: creating & delivering content and bringing back feedback into the engineering world. He shares with us the way they gather feedback from customers and how they hunt for those gaps. Furthermore, we discuss the importance of staying on top of new things and why you should keep learning. Should there be an ‘Advocate of all new things’? We talk about Azure certifications, how he helps other people get certified, and the enrichment it gives when owning certain Azure certificates. And if he had the possibility, what would he disinvent?
