Senior Solutions Architect
CurrentGitLab is a single tool for the entire DevOps lifecycle. As a comprehensive solution it covers everything from agile planning through code creation and review, build, deployment and monitoring. With so many capabilities in the product, my role is to make sure that customers and prospects understand all the facets of the GitLab DevOps solution and how to apply GitLab technology to their business and technical DevOps challenges. I use discovery questions, product demonstrations, proof-of-value evaluations, hands on workshops and ongoing Q&A discussions to help customers and prospects understand their own DevOps needs and show how GitLab addresses those needs.While at GitLab I have: * Achieved technical wins with new customers that helped add many new logos in the last 5 years, mostly in finance, banking, insurance and FinTech * Achieved license count growth and feature usage growth at over a two dozen customers including multi-million dollar transactions with large blue-chip companies. * Delivered lightning talk on GitLab Workspaces at KubeCon NA 2023 * Spoke on GitLab CI/CD at three different regional meetups (St. Louis, Minneapolis, Dallas) and DevOps Days Kansas City * Mentored and guided new employees and shared skills with them
