Client voices

I've worked with Tony, where he was leading on a large scale application modernisation program for a very large financial services customer in the UK. He as always was a consummate professional in the way he influenced the right business outcomes for his client. He has a high degree of credibility with his customers on complex topics and he is an incredible asset for any team.

I worked with Tony on large container platforms, he was very knowledgable and proactive. I enjoyed working with Tony and would recommend him to anyone.

During Tony's engagement with us, his knowledge of containerisation and Kubernetes proved essential to the development of our new platforms, not only from a technical standpoint but also strategically. Tony was always keen to share his knowledge and apply this to solving our platform's most pressing challenges, demonstrating his ability to engage positively, constructively, proactively, and with focus.

Tony worked for me as a Principal Kubernetes Consultant at Devoteam from 2022-2023. Tony's knowledge of Kubernetes is of the highest calibre. He is able to design and build highly complex Kubernetes architectures and just as importantly, he is able to document and present these designs to senior technical and business leaders. I would highly recommend Tony as a senior Kubernetes specialist.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Tony Barganski on our Containers Community of Practice which I lead at LSEG. Besides Tony's extensive understanding of technology in general, including Kubernetes and Containers, Tony demonstrates an impressive ability to navigate complex concepts and excels at translating these into clear and concise explanations, fostering a collaborative environment where everyone felt supported and understood. Beyond his technical prowess, Tony is a person of integrity, reliability, and professionalism and it was a pleasure to collaborate with Tony who truly made a positive impact and was a valued member of our team.
