In his new role, Hernandez will spearhead open-source innovation and collaboration initiatives, delivering valuable contributions to the Argo Project and cultivating Codefresh’s developer enablement programs, including its popular GitOps Fundamentals Certification Course with over 8,000 DevOps engineers already certified.
