Season 2, Episode 13: Shared Pains | Niko Naredi
Welcome to the LabVIEW Experiment, turning LabVIEW Developers into LabVIEW Experts,
one episode at a time! We believe in the idea that failure is a step in the process to become successful.
What are we discussing today?
Niko Naredi studied chemistry, and got his PhD in Biophysics in 2014. During that time when working on super-resolution microscopes, he unintentionally found himself drifting into the enchanting realm of automation. With a short detour in Berlin for Picoquant (a laser and research equipment manufacturer) and the ETH Zurich for Microfluidics, he joined National Instrument Switzerland as Applications Engineer in 2016 where he got (and gave) lots of LabVIEW and TestStand training. He changed to the Systems Engineering department, which was shortly thereafter renamed to Applications Engineering, so he became an Applications Engineer again until they closed the Swiss branch of NI. Niko joined Zühlke Engineering in 2019 as a Systems Engineer, originally working on test systems with his focus shifting more into the med-tech and consulting direction. Along this path, he had an epiphany: what if we could borrow some secrets from our rockstar DevOps colleagues in software engineering and apply them to our non-DevOps world? And just like that, a new passion was born: exploring how we can infuse our little corner of automation with the awesomeness and buzzwords that make up DevOps.
In this episode, Sam and Niko talk about DevOps, and how we all have shared pains in development.
