DevSecOps Podcast – Modern Software, Real-World Delivery, and the Art of Not Trusting AI Blindly
Guest: Jared Dohrman — Senior Systems Engineer, Cordant

With Jared in the guest chair, the episode traces a career shaped by curiosity, community, and a willingness to wrangle idiosyncratic enterprise tooling while still finding time for tinkering with chicken-coop automation on weekends.

Key Themes

• How Atlassian matured from grassroots tooling to enterprise staple
• Why Agile often fails when organisations assume tooling alone creates cultural change
• The ongoing tension between Excel dependency and modern pipeline automation
• AI as an assistant but not an arbiter
• Multi-cloud pragmatism and the case for Kubernetes-led abstraction
• The measurable business impact of well-designed DevOps and modernisation programs
