I am a software professional with over 20 years of experience in cloud applications. I have always had a passion for computers and programming. I have played the role of application engineer, sr. application engineer, lead application engineer, technical architect, sr. technical architect, senior software developer, staff software developer, and consulting practice manager through my career to this point.I am a presidential scholar and have never been satisfied with anything short of excellence. My ambition and drive is a key factor to success and my ability to excel at any task that is put in front of me. I love a challenge, especially with data modeling and architectural design work to build scalable, reliable, maintainable systems in production at scale.My general experience is in writing code, integrating systems, and managing teams (both on and offshore). Public speaking has always been a strength of mine and I enjoy collaborating cross-team on large projects that require deep thinking, planning, and organization. I will continue to pursue my interest in software as a service and look forward the learning more every day.Specialties: Golang, Python, GIT, Kubernetes, EKS, AWS, RDS, SQS, Kafka, Datadog, REST, GRPC, Agile, Java, SAAS, PHP, HTML, XML, XSLT, JavaScript, CSS, ruby, linux, vim, cloud, offshore, integrations, SOAP, architecture, software design, .NET, databases, GCE, GAE, Thrift, C#, management, IDL
