Agile, full-stack technologist, 20+ years experience working in software development, DevOps/CloudOps, data science, system architecture, information security, CI/CD automation, cloud integration, and web standards and technologies. I am always eager to acclimate myself to new tech and industry dynamics.
I am fluent in Python, Ruby, Bash, Perl, SQL, AWS, Java, Javascript, Ansible, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, HTML5, CSS3, Django, Tomcat, Widget W, Language X, Component Y, Framework Z. I love working with small, cohesive, mission-driven teams, and I believe that agile development works best with an embedded DevOps element. I dabble in digital art, graphic design, music, and hats. If this sounds like a puzzle piece you're looking for, let's talk!
