Red Hat recognizes Red Hat Certified Professionals who demonstrate ingenuity,
hard work and expertise by making a difference in their organizations and in the community. We’re proud to announce that Jason Hiatt, Lead Infrastructure Developer at OneMain Financial, has been named the 2019 Red Hat Certified Professional of the Year. Hiatt is a Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA), Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE). He also holds several other Red Hat certification credentials: Red Hat Certified System Administrator in Red Hat OpenStack, Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Administration, Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Application Development and Red Hat Certified Specialist in Ansible Automation.

When the OneMain Financial needed a way to deliver applications more quickly for its customers, it turned to Red Hat to help build out a container platform. Hiatt helped oversee the roll-out of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. He led the implementation of Red Hat Ansible Automation while building the clusters, created CI/CD pipelines and developed applications that run on top of the platform. The initiative was successful in enabling code changes, which used to take weeks and/or days, to take mere hours or minutes.
