Matthias Marschall

Matthias Marschall is a software engineer "Made in Germany" and the author of the Chef Infrastructure Automation Cookbook by Packt Publishing.

A lean and Agile engineering lead, he's passionate about continuous delivery, infrastructure automation, and all things DevOps. In recent years, Matthias has helped build several web-based businesses, first with Java and then with Ruby on Rails.
