I am excited by the dramatic technology changes today. Technology is evolving in its nature. Distributed applications are commonplace. APIs control our infrastructure. Software is no longer tied to a particular server. The fundamental ways we work are changing. Companies are using these changes to gain velocity. Companies that don’t improve are risking getting left behind. I am eager to be part of that transformation.I enjoy difficult technical topics. I view problems with a holistic perspective due to my varied background. This helps me learn new technologies and the skills to take advantage of them. My companies have relied on me to transform the way they use technology.I enjoy leading technology teams. Many times, I led teams in learning new ways to work. This leadership makes my teams capable and productive. But it’s not about the technology. It’s critical that the people who use that technology benefit. We have focused on integrating with our customers. We work with them, and ensure they are seeing the benefits of these changes.Serving in a variety of roles has given me broad experience. I have been a developer. I have been a systems, network, and cloud engineer. I have been a team member and led teams. I want to use that knowledge and experience to create something awesome!

Manager, Application Engineering And Automation, Devops And Amazon Web ServicesScripps Networks Interactive Apr 2015 - Mar 2018I managed the staff responsible for the Scripps Networks ad sales and affiliate sales systems. These mission-critical systems accounted for more than 2.5 billion dollars in 2014.My management asked me to transform a team of legacy systems engineers and open positions into a cloud engineering team. I led training for staff on topics such as DevOps, cloud concepts, AWS services, and Chef configuration management. I also hired staff with development experience and systems knowledge. Before long, I had built a team of eight capable of handling any cloud task. The number of AWS certifications in the group grew from two to fourteen.Together, we redesigned our Jenkins architecture. We had a centralized Jenkins EC2 server which many internal groups used. Maintenance took weeks to communicate and schedule, and plugins often conflicted. We designed a new Jenkins 2 architecture using Docker containers on AWS ECS clusters. We then built an environment for each group. This improvement allowed for immediate, on-demand maintenance, instead of waiting weeks.We rebuilt the automation around our websites. Adobe Experience Manager is not a cloud-native application. Building new environments for developers took over two hours. Working with developer teams, and using a combination of Jenkins, Chef, CloudFormation, and Python, we decreased the time to create new environments to twenty minutes. This improvement saved almost $100,000 a year in developer time. We also built tools for support staff to conduct complicated patching and maintenance processes.Team members were often embedded with developer teams as DevOps engineers. They provided expert help on complicated projects. They led creating automation for ECS clusters, application deployment automation, and creating and managing serverless microservices using AWS Lambda. -
