As an operational application architect my mission is to diligently drive process improvement. Multitasking, tenacity and problem solving abilities are assets used daily. My approach is to use automation to proactively build self-aware applications and self-repairing environments. Cloud platform automation is no longer a new breaking technology. We are utilizing it to build more consistent platforms faster than we thought possible. It is improving efficiency, operational stability, disaster recovery and scalability. Having the opportunity to work with some of the best and smartest people and the latest hardware technologies running world class fault tolerant systems and applications supporting millions in daily revenues on some of the largest computing environments ever built, a lot of architectural lessons have been learned.Quotation: Don't just have a backup plan.
