About

I'm a professional nerd with a passion for technology that started with a Commodore C64. Over the years, my experiences have taught me a set of professional values: think big, execute, do your best, lead by example, and always improve yourself. My career spans roles as a Chief Technology Officer, Head of Cloud, and various engineering and management positions across technology and cloud infrastructure. I have extensive experience in cloud architecture, DevOps, and building scalable systems. Reach out if you want to talk about technology, good beer, drag racing, or photography.
