I joined HealthEquity as part of the Further acquisition during 2021. I am happy to be a part of this (new to me) organization and see where this next chapter takes us!

I was brought on board (initially as contractor) to help guide and facilitate the migration and refactoring of on-premises capability into the AWS cloud. After a successful migration in 2020, I have stayed with this great team, and I have been evolving cloud capabilities at Further ever since.
