ABOUT ME

Lead back-end engineer that genuinely loves programming!

Hello, world! I am a highly experience lead back-end engineer nearing 10 years of professional experience. I like to say that programming is my form of creative expression! I have been working on back-end services in cloud native environments for nearly all of my career. Python, Golang, and Javascript(Node and React) are my languages of choice. If you need something done on Docker, Kubernetes, or in a Cloud in general, I'm sure I can help!

Docker has been a game changing event in modern software design. As it has grown my usage of it has also grown! I even was an attendee at DockerCon in 2019. Since then I have leveraged docker any time a project needs to run in multiple environments. Docker is also my first choice for me when I'm choosing a testing solution for cloud deployments!

I've designed and developed complex applications on every major cloud provider. Thankfully, most cloud services have general analogues in other environments. I have also led migrations between platforms and know a fair few wrinkles to keep an eye out for that process!
