My vision is to help companies bring discoverability and governance to event-driven architectures through open source tooling.

• Revamped the website and documentation experience for Wing https://www.winglang.io/• Build a new examples page for Wing• Developed and written "Wing by Example" a hands-on introduction to Wing using annotated example programs. • Maintained open source issues and roadmap

Developer Advocate at AWS focusing on Serverless and Event-Driven Architectures.• Designed and developed EDA Visuals. Over 60 visuals to help people learn and understand event-driven architecture. Over 2.5M impressions, 7k downloads on the book.• Ownership of ServerlessLand.com. Increasing traffic 200%+ introduced automation, guides, frameworks and more.• Build a video streaming application called SeverlessVideo to showcase to users how to build event-driven architectures on AWS.• International speaker, speaking at conferences around the world focused on event-driven architecture, serverless, domain-driven design.• Working closely with product teams, bringing customer feedback back from the community into the products• Building workshops, developing guides and writing blog posts to help people learn about event-driven architecture.
