My name is Isaac Omaits, and I am Platform Architect for FedEx in the Edge Compute space. Professionally, I lead through engineering and architecting cloud-native compute systems with the many constraints that exist on the Edge. A deep knowledge in Kubernetes, Cloud-Native technology, Platform and Application Engineering practices allows me to build efficient and effective systems for a life. I have been extremely blessed professionally with opportunities to grow and learn, and believe that we owe it those that taught us to pay it forward.

In my personal life, I grew up on a 70 acre farm, raising cattle, pigs, and chickens. As I became an adult, I looked back on my childhood, and realized that the success I have had professionally came from a lot of the lessons I learned growing up on the farm. I am the father of 2, and I wanted to provide that same opportunity to my children. Plus, I didn’t like having all my neighbors right outside my door. My wife and I made the decision to buy a small old farm, and build us a little slice of what I had growing up. Like all hobbies, it grew until I was running a full fledged farm, and now I spend my time bringing together the two things I love.
I hope you enjoy my attempt to provide a new perspective into lessons that help us succeed professional, and find humor in the situations, challenges, and memories that we are building on our small farm.
