The Last Fifteen Years

My Adventures in Technology

2006
Freelance Developer
I returned to tech by working freelance for a few years on a series of web apps, including an early youtube competitor, a suite of marketing tools, and an early social dashboard. This work helped me grow accustomed to working on a software team where members lived remote and worked on different schedules.
2008
Hosting & Ecommerce
Early in my career, I was lucky enough to work in hosting and e-commerce. Working with a large variety of clients in all different industries provides a great learning experience. You also have a lot of opportunities to hone your troubleshooting skills as you work to support code from so many disparate sources.
2011
Small SAAS Startups
My time working in small SAAS startups taught me so much about being an engineering leader and what it means to support a large technology scale. I learned how important it is to make sure you are building the right thing and iteratively delivering value. During this time, I began to focus on repeatable infrastructure, ci/cd, and developer experience, a topic that was starting to gain popularity.
2018
High Growth SAAS Startups
My time in high-growth SAAS companies helped solidify my passion for DevOps and Cloud Engineering. I have been fortunate to work at several forward-thinking companies that allowed me and my teams to lead them through a DevOps transformation. These successful transformations have allowed me the opportunity to specialize in building the teams and processes that empower the growth of the entire engineering department.
