What an Incredible Experience Speaking at DevOpsCon Berlin 2025! 🎉

Last week, I had the honor of speaking at DevOpsCon Berlin on June 17-18, 2025, and what an amazing experience it was!

From the moment I stepped on stage to deliver my session(s), I could feel the energy and curiosity in the room. The engagement, questions, and feedback I received were truly inspiring and reaffirmed why I love sharing knowledge and learning from the incredible tech community. 💡 (More about my sessions shared here earlier)

But this event wasn’t just about speaking—it was about connecting. I had the privilege of meeting some of the most passionate and brilliant minds in DevOps. Our chats were not only insightful but also a reminder of how collaborative and innovative this space is. Special thanks to @Simon , @Robert , and @Richa for some enriching conversations and the shared laughs that made these days even more memorable. It is always a pleasure to work with @Fabian and meeting in person was even more fun!

As I look back at these moments , I feel immense gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to this thriving community. Here’s to more connections, collaborations, and growth in the future! 🌟

A huge shoutout to the organizing team @Mirjam , @Nadia and the @S&S Conference team for hosting such a seamless and impactful event—it was no small feat, and you nailed it! 🙌

New Country. New Life. Same Drive for Growth. 🌍🚀

A Life Update!


A few weeks ago, I took one of the biggest leaps of my life—I moved to a new country.

Hello, Netherlands!

This journey has been nothing short of transformative. From navigating unfamiliar streets to trying to learning a new language, looking for a home, and finding my rhythm in a completely new environment—every day continues to bring its own set of challenges and lessons.

But with every challenge comes growth. 🌱

Moving to a new country isn’t just about geography—it’s about rediscovering yourself, stepping out of your comfort zone, and embracing the unknown. it is not easy to wrap up a life you’ve known forever and built for yourself, and just leave with a few suitcases and heaps of memories – in search for something that is calling for you from hundreds of miles away…. But when were we ever made for ‘easy’ things? After all —

“A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.” – John A. Shedd

It’s about giving up the comfort and luxury of every ‘known’ , and starting from ground up.

It’s all about learning to adapt, staying resilient, and building connections that make the transition easier.

It is about being Agile!

As an experienced Agile professional with a passion for driving team success, collaboration, and continuous improvement, I’m now actively looking for my next career opportunity in this incredible city.

📢 To my fellow #Agile practitioners, leaders, scrum masters and #QAprofessionals in #Amsterdam:
If you’re part of this vibrant tech and Agile ecosystem, let’s connect! I’m eager to bring my experience in Agile coaching, leadership, and transformation to a team that values collaboration, innovation, and growth.

This is more than just a professional journey—it’s a personal one. And I’d love to connect with people who share similar values and can guide, mentor, or simply share a coffee and a conversation. ☕

To anyone else considering taking a big step like this—trust the process. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.

Here’s to new beginnings, endless possibilities, and the courage to create a life you truly love!🌟

Cheers,

Nishi

🌟 New Milestone Unlocked: Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM) 🌟

Guess who just levelled up in the agile universe? 🚀 I’m thrilled to share that I’ve officially earned the Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM) certification, a prestigious milestone for agile leaders, coaches, and Scrum Masters! 🏅

This journey wasn’t just about the certificate (although it does feel good to have it in my portfolio!) – it was about embracing continuous learning, stepping out of my comfort zone, and investing in my growth as a professional and as a person.

Here’s the thing: Growth doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when you choose to prioritize learning, say yes to challenges, and remind yourself that there’s always more to explore. 🌱

This journey has been an incredible deep dive into advanced Scrum practices, fostering team dynamics, facilitating agile processes, and creating environments where teams thrive and deliver value consistently.

Here are a few key takeaways from this certification:

  • The art of servant leadership: Empowering teams while giving them the space to innovate and grow.
  • Advanced facilitation techniques to navigate challenges and boost collaboration.
  • Building a culture of continuous improvement, focusing on delivering value sprint after sprint.
  • Strategies for addressing team dynamics and unlocking each team member’s potential.

This certification is more than just a badge—it’s a reflection of my commitment to continuous learning and evolving as a Scrum Master, agile leader, and team enabler. 🚀

💡 I’m excited to apply these insights to empower teams, improve agility, and help organizations achieve their goals. If you’re passionate about agile, Scrum, or leadership, let’s connect and exchange ideas!
