Mitesh Soni - Jenkins Essentials

Mitesh Soni is currently working as a technical specialist at IGATE. He is an SCJP, SCWCD, and VCP. While he has interest in DevOps and Cloud computing, his real passion is to play with kids, play with his camera, and capture photographs at Indroda Park. He loves programming in Java, and he finds design patterns fascinating. He lives in the capital of Mahatma Gandhi's home state. He loves to spend time alone and loves walking at Punit Van. He believes that without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value. He has earlier authored Learning Chef by Packt Publishing (https://www.packtpub.com/networking-and-servers/learning-chef).

I want to say thanks and express my gratitude for everything I've been blessed with. I would like to thank Jigisha-Nitesh, dada-dadi, my teachers, friends, and family members who have always supported me. Special thanks to Vishwajit for encouraging me to work on Jenkins. I would like to thank Jyoti Namjoshi for encouraging me to write articles and for her guidance and valuable support in what I do. I would also like to thank the IGATE senior management for providing opportunities to explore latest technology trends and work on them extensively.

Devin Young graduated with a BS in sports management from The Ohio State University and somehow wound up working as a software engineer shortly afterwards. He specializes in DevOps and is particularly fond of automation and real-time applications. He grew up as a competitive jump roper, leading him to create the mobile app RopeRacer, which was launched on iOS in March 2015.
