I'm a guy who likes to get things done with a high level of skill and attention to detail. While many of my skills are related to jobs I've had. I have a thirst for knowledge outside of work that keeps me always working on fun and interesting projects. (IOT, Devops, Clustering, Web design, Carpentry, Jewelry, Jerky, Home improvements).For fun I enjoy snowboarding, scooba, building out my camper van, dancing, camping and so much more. I'm a very social and outgoing person but keep a small inner circle of friends who I trust and love.Looking at my resume or job history might feel a little confusing in terms of what my focus is so I'll lay it out here.I started my career as a professional consultant for 4 years (Teradata) where I'd work with fortune 500 companies in planning and implementing new and interesting proof of concepts for various big data and machine learning projects. Here I would get a heads up on new projects and the technologies involved, then I'd spend some time training up and building example projects using those technologies before starting with each client. This experience ranged from application development (java, python, hadoop), ETL, to Devops and cloud service management and involved me traveling onsite to work with clients nearly every week. It generally made me comfortable jumping into new technologies and teams with the confidence to get myself trained up and able to make an impact quickly.From there I began working on CBDC's (central bank digital currency management systems) for a little over 3 years and picked up Elixir as our main application language. I really enjoyed working in elixir so I've kept those skills close to my heart. At this company (Bitt) we built some really interesting blockchain backed financial systems that were meant to help bank the unbanked and make digital markets more available to people in countries where getting something like a bank account was challenging. In the end the project did catch on with a few central banks but the company didn't financially survive so I switched gears to finding somewhere I could improve my elixir skills further.Thats when I started at Simplebet. Working there was fun and they had a great team of senior and very knowledgable engineers. My time there was all about improving many of my own best practices around not only elixir but also around tracing, logging and observability. There I picked upon some new tools that I'd always opt for if given the choice.I'm always looking for ways to improve and further my career/skills, so shoot me a message sometime!
