    VP, Architect, Cloud Platform Engineering
    Started as an Operations Engineer, moved to Systems Engineer, then Sr. Systems/DevOps Engineer, and finally to VP, Architect, Cloud Platform Engineering. As a member of the Cloud Platform Engineering team, I was the owner, developer and SME for multiple cloud platforms such as Azure DevOps, Chef, Amazon Web Services, GitLab/GitLab CI, and Google Cloud Platform. As an architect, I was also involved in architectural reviews and system design. My daily workload shifts between writing Python, Ruby, PowerShell, and Bash across CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code. I also work hand-in-hand with development teams across the organization daily, gathering feedback in order to provide the best platforms for them to build upon. When I was not writing code, I was usually mentoring or working on documentation.
