I've had a dynamic professional journey, constantly evolving and tackling new challenges. My latest focus has been on crafting web-based applications utlizing PHP/Laravel that are tightly integrated with Twilio's voice services. I really have enjoyed focusing more on development lately, but I remain open to leadership opportunities. Before this, I had the opportunity to lead the Hearst Newspapers DevOps (Web Infrastructure) team. It was a hands-on role ensuring the smooth running of sites like www.sfgate.com and www.chron.com, among others. A highlight of my tenure there was guiding my team to implement innovative solutions at AWS and Rackspace, leading to significant cost savings for Hearst.When it comes to my strengths, I'm all about problem solving. This is valuable in both development and leadership. As a developer, I'm attracted to solving new problems, traversing unknown territories. I am a quick study and adopt new technologies and methodologies quickly. As a leader, it's all about effective team management and project execution. I've got a knack for steering teams through the intricacies of big projects, release support, and production deployments, ensuring we stay on track, mitigate risk, and deliver results.
