Profile

I am a genuine and resourceful technology creator with over 20 years of hands-on software development, team building and leadership experience. My passion is enabling technology teams to be their best by bridging modern technical design with outstanding business problem-solving. Recognized as an AWS Community leader in the areas of Event-Driven and Serverless Architecture, I bring 7 years of pragmatic experience designing and operating modern cloud-native and containerized solutions.

To work with me is an experience and I pride myself on being able to connect individually with those on my team. It’s through that relationship-building that I’m able to do what I enjoy most, which is guiding technical talent to become better while balancing growth through innovation, continuous improvement and delivery.
