Bob Walker is a Field CTO at Octopus Deploy. Bob started as a developer in the early days of .NET when Web Forms were the hottest new thing and manual deployments were the norm. After one too many five-hour 2 a.m. Saturday deployments, he searched for automation to stop that pain. His original focus was on automating database deployments. Since then, his passion has remained writing code, but it has expanded to creating full CI/CD pipelines, continuous delivery, DevOps, and platform engineering.
