About
I'm Haggai Philip Zagury — most people know me as hagzag. I bring ~30 years of experience as an IT Systems Engineer, with the last 25 in DevOps and the +- last 15 in the Cloud.
I bootstrapped my career as a systems administrator in a small startup & ISP, few years later discovered my passion for learning & teaching at varios high-tech collages. I've lectured at conferences in Israel and abroad, and consulted at Tikal Knowledge, which helped me grow my skills and knowledge across hundreds of customer engagements.
Today I work as a Platform Engineer a.k.a DevOps, SRE at Tikal Knowledge I write about how Technology and how AI is changing software delivery, security and compliance automation, Infrastructure as code or what I call cloud-native infrastructure.
