Introduction
I am a software engineer with 15+ years of experience. I have experience in all parts of the technical stack: back end, front end, full stack, DevOps, project/team lead, and in executive leadership (as CTO and as technical advisor to CEOs & boards). I have experience in multiple programming languages, including (but not limited to): Python, Javascript, Clojure, C, Janet. I am comfortable with modern infrastructure & DevOps tooling such as: docker, K8s, SaltStack, Ansible, Kamal, as well as cloud native architecture. I have worked for start ups, fortune 500's, and public sector / government clients. I have worked as a solo consulting and run my own companies. I am looking for a role where I can make an impact. My preference would be for a deeply technical role, improving DevOps, team workflows flows, infrastructure, performance, or developer experience.
