Background

About

About

I build and maintain reliable software systems that help enterprises focus more on their business and less on keeping things up. From Websphere to Kubernetes, from bare metal to the cloud, I've brought a problem-solving/engineering mindset to how companies deploy & run software. Please reach out to discuss any opportunities!
