I'm a highly technical leader with a robust blend of technical prowess and strong soft skills. Above all, I am a solution creator, thriving on mentoring, coaching, and cultivating teams to deliver world-class solutions while fostering productivity and sense of accomplishment.My extensive experiences span the technical trenches of bare metal device drivers, Cloud & Microservices, through roles in the C-suite, and everything in-between. This empowers me to act as a superconductor between business and technical personnel, communicating comfortably with both.Breaking down large, complex challenges into smaller actionable units is where I excel, enabling the discovery of innovative and sustainable solutions. While being the hero isn't my goal, cultivating whole teams to overachieve, with each member elevating their performance, truly motivates me.Beginning my professional journey with a military kidnapping into the land survey and cartography squadrons in Africa, I quickly discovered my passion for computers. (It was a lot more fun than being shot at in the jungles of Angola). From there it has been a scintillating ride of learning and invention, on four continents, in seven countries. Speaking multiple languages, I embrace and thrive in diverse cultural settings. I've been awarded "Best In Show" at the Comdex Linux Pavilion, Computerworld Honors Laureate, and recently rated better than 96% of all managers worldwide.If your development or DevOps department feels like the wild west, I can help transform it into a low friction, streamlined extension of your business.
