I am a Software Engineer with experience developing various cloud solutions that run from bare metal to a full cloud. I have developed professionally with Go, Python, and Bash, and have used Kubernetes extensively. I pride myself on being the person that co-workers seek out for advice and help.

At Microsoft I worked on the Azure for Operators team to develop a cloud solution to support a hybrid cloud deployed on client hardware which uses the the power of Azure for deployment and support. This technology is targeted at internet service providers as they (especially larger ones) have a need for large cloud solutions to run their virtualized network functions which form the basis of their networks. Not only would using a normal cloud service not suffice for this, one way that they distinguish themselves tend to be with the different locations and capabilities of their cloud nodes. These allow them to support higher speeds at lower latency, but increases the complexity of mantaining your own cloud. This is where our team came in to offer a solution to deploy a hybrid cloud on their hardware while still offering all the comforts of Azure. Our solution granted me the opportunity to work a lot with Kubernetes, Docker, Bash, Linux, Azure, and others. As for development I worked a lot with developing on custom Kubernetes operators in Go, writing scripting in Bash and Python, and interacting with unfamiliar technologies like Pure storage.

At AT&T I worked on a team to create a private cloud solution capable of autonomously deploying bare metal nodes. The solution that was currently in place deployed OpenStack over the course of a month with the help of several operators. What we were developing was capable of deploying a new node from scratch in less than 8 hours. We worked extensively under the OpenStack and OpenDev open source area, and our main collection of projects, "Airship" was officially taken is a formal OpenDev project. This meant that much of my development was in the open source community, and I had plenty of interactions with the members of various other OpenStack Communities. Worked extensively with Kubernetes, Docker, and Linux system administration. Development utilized Python, Go, and Bash.

I worked at Centene as a Software Development for two summers while I was in college. My first experience there was very eye opening and I learned a lot about creating web APIs and working on a team. The second summer I was given increased responsibilities and the projects were considerably more complex. I worked with numerous technologies and gained a lot of experience from professionals both about writing good code and how to teach and lead others.
