“I quit my job in tech because I just couldn’t do it anymore.”

In this episode of Software Defined Interviews, Whitney and Coté talk with Lian Li, Cloud Native Expert at Vorwerk Group. Lian Li spent 16 years in tech, quit to pursue stand-up comedy and improv theater, and came back with a completely different take on what makes teams work.

We cover her transition from platform engineering to stand-up comedy, musical theater, and improv theater, how performance art changed the way she thinks about tech teams and conference talks, her improv workshops for engineers at conferences, and the KubeCon karaoke parties she organizes.
