I am a productivity aficionado who loves working on software development and process automation design (think The Elastic Stack and The Chef Infrastructure Suite).

My career started in Hollywood visual effects, creating simulation based animation; then transitioned into developing software to manage cross-location data set replication, distributed data processing, and infrastructure orchestration. I have also spent many years considering the finer points of database design and workflow methodologies. These days, I prefer to direct my algorithmic thinking towards custom Cloud automation by way of implementing Python APIs, writing Chef Cookbooks, and designing application provisioning pipelines.

Driven to excel, continuously adaptive to the ever changing landscape of software development via active code contributions, invested in pushing the boundaries of process design, passionate about team building, and skilled at facilitating relationships between stakeholders and direct reports.
