🙋‍♀️ Hi, friend! Pleased to meet you.

My name is Ian Ceicys (last name is Lithuanian and pronounced like 2 Cs and a Z (CCz). I'm a senior technical program manager for Microsoft Dataverse. I'm a passionate about making releasing software a joy, I love working across the latest cloud technologies. ✨. Apart from that I also love to be a guide and mentor for those who are new to cloud platforms. I'm currently into Azure Devops, Terraform, AWS-Code Deploy, and Spinnaker!

whoami ⌚ Hours I prefer to work from home, but love serendipitous hallway conversations + getting to know my coworkers. My ideal work week would have 3 - 4 days in the office, and 1 - 2 days working from home, or from a coworking space.

• 👨🏽‍💻 I’m currently working on something cool 😉

• 🌱 I’m currently learning Spinnaker!

🗣 Communication is everything, especially online.

If you can't communicate or collaborate with others, your career will be over before it begins. Engineering and Management are team sports. Any successful project will have a strong emphasis on communication, collaboration, empathy, and respect - not just engineering.

📈 Choose growth opportunities.

"Try never to be the smartest person in the room. And if you are, I suggest you invite smarter people… or find a different room." Always choose an opportunity to learn, to grow new skills. Always.

👩‍🎤👨‍🎤👩‍🦰👨‍🦱👳‍♂️💂‍♂️👩‍💼🧙‍♂️ Nurture and build communities.

Communities are powerful, fragile things and must be nurtured over time. Be kind; have empathy; respect differing paces. Everything is about the community: making it collaborative, caring; a collective. A group of passionate people who care about each other's success. If you can build a healthy community, you can build anything.

🎁 Give without expecting a return.

Someone very wise once said to me "you'll meet people — and you'll help, support, and encourage them, not even thinking about it. But those influences will change lives; and if you're lucky, you'll find out later." So if our paths cross today, surprise me with your later!

🙏 Believe in people. People are what are behind every character of code that you read, every video that you watch, every song that is sung, and every lawsuit that is filed. Default to Smart and Good with people and you'll find that you can go farther together than alone.
