Hello
My name is Huxley Kendell, I am 22 and graduated from the University of Lincoln with a BSc in Computer Science and a MSc in Cloud Computing.
​
I joined Redgate in 2022 as a Solutions Specialist, specialising in Database DevOps and Automation. Joining Redgates Solution Engineering team allowed me the chance to sell cutting-edge Database Solutions, to some of the largest companies across the globe, while specialising in DevOps-based solutions.
Working at Redgate gave me the opportunity to do what I love as a job, talking about technology with some of the smartest players in the field and coming up with advanced solutions.
My Story
I joined the University of Lincoln in 2018, studying Computer Science BSc and kicking off my eventual career in DevOps. In 2022, I finished my MSc in Cloud Computing and a few months later joined Redgate as a Solution Specialist.
Solution Specialists at Redgate are key to the development of new solutions that we bring to market. Solution Specialists will align themselves directly with a specific solution, taking ownership of the education of our sales teams globally as well as direct support on key opportunities. For me that's Automation, how can I support not only our valued customers to best automate their database workflow and get as much value as possible, but also how I can best support everyone internally with the ever-growing world of Database DevOps?
I often find myself supporting large deals, with my role ranging from scoping needs and pain, all the way to writing the code their pipelines will use and maximising their onboarding and enablement of the chosen solution.
But, with Redgate, I get the chance to do a little of everything and the only consistent part of my days is the opportunity to speak and talk with some of the worlds leading minds in this field, and understand deeper how different customers implement and attempt to do Database DevOps. I often travel to conventions, customer site visits or other DevOps-related events and wanted a place to connect and share all the amazing things I have seen and been working on.
I love nothing more than to talk work, especially any kind of automation, so whether you need help with implementing DevOps and improving your database effectiveness and want to see what Redgate can do to help, or if you just wanted to see what I am talking about then you are in the right place.
