About Me

Summary

I'm a seasoned technologist, looking for direct-hire or W2 contract roles in a remote-first capacity.

Top Skills:

Linux (Ross Brunson and I wrote the RHCSA 8 course for A Cloud Guru)
Kubernetes (KCNA | CKAD | CKA)
Cloud (AWS CCP (working on SAA) and a little Azure and GCP)
Cloud Native (Containers, Docker/Podman and Kubernetes)
Automation (Terraform, CloudFormation, Bash and some Python)

Biography

I've had the pleasure of working with physical, virtual, Cloud and Cloud Native technologies for many years. I have worn many hats – educator, team lead, architect, engineer, project manager, business advocate and more, with both pre-sales and post-sales experience. I can speak to a wide variety of both technical and non-technical audiences. My experience leveraging process and automation helps me to achieve fast, accurate and consistent results.

I'm a big believer in documenting all things and sharing the knowledge, both written (GitHub) and video (YouTube). I like leaving things better than I found them, and wrangling, documenting and automating tribal knowledge along the way.

I added teaching and content production to my skill set over three years ago, so I could leverage over 25 years of technology experience to create great courses with lessons and hands-on labs to help my students master technology, changing lives for the better. Along the way, I've been a student as well, learning how to write, record, edit and produce my own content and create and deploy labs in AWS using CloudFormation and Terraform.

I've been expanding my Cloud, Cloud Native and adjacent subject matter knowledge to become a more well-rounded technologist. I recently attained the Cloud Native Computing Foundation's CKA and CKAD certifications, as well as the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification. I'm currently studying for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate exam.

Let's build something great together!
