Kelsey Hightower: From Sleeping in His Car to Distinguished Engineer, Google 

Kelsey Hightower is a distinguished engineer and developer advocate at Google (recently retired), and speaker known for his work with Kubernetes, open source software and cloud computing.
As a curious and motivated self-learner, Kelsey dropped out of College and taught himself the skills required to start his career as an independent contractor for BellSouth - a telecoms company in Atlanta helping the community to get online. From there, Kelsey set up his own business - an electronics store before becoming involved in the open source world, working at New Relic, CoreOS, Puppet Labs, and most recently at Google.
A self-taught developer, Kelsey’s work on Kubernetes and at Google, from which he just retired, is well-known* so I wanted to focus our conversation on his life - how he got into tech, his love of learning, what drives him, what it means to be hopeful and the one piece of advice he would offer a younger Kelsey.
