When you hear a name like \\u201cJamf,\\u201d you aren\\u2019t likely to think of cloud architecture, but for Levi McCormick, it\\u2019s his bread and butter. On this Summer Replay of Screaming in the Cloud, Corey and Levi chat about how Jamf\\u2019s business approach benefits both their clients and their development team. Levi gives his take on the relationship between software development and personal ownership, how he gamified learning for young engineers, the economic challenges presented to professionals trying to break into the cloud, and how AWS can improve its rollout of new products. Seeing as Levi McCormick is now Jamf\\u2019s Director of Engineering, those insights have seemingly paid dividends! You can check out this blast from the past (as well as Corey\\u2019s usual wit and hot takes) right now!
