About

Thanks for stopping by! I am a software engineering leader based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma who enjoys enabling engineers to further utilize the capabilities of modern cloud offerings.

With a background in meteorology, my path to software engineering and leadership has been a journey. My formal education taught me to find connections and relationships between facts and observations which relates very well to engineering. From there, it was one puzzle to another before the journey moved from the atmospheric cloud into a digital cloud.

My initial exposure to cloud computing was through a ‘trial by fire’ approach which, while not recommended, did allow me to organically learn many AWS Services and abilities. A hands on approach to technical discovery allowed me to see the benefits of modern best practices and encouraged me to foster those skills within my team at work.

While not at work, I enjoy the opportunity to see the world beyond the computer screen. Whether that is by taking a ride on my motorcycle to an unknown destination, walking the dog around the neighborhood, or even admiring the towering cumulus clouds in the distance; I take the opportunity to see what is around me. I feel that this allows me to recharge, ready to solve the next day’s puzzles.
