about me
I’m a professional software architect with passion for technology specializing in the .NET stack, Microsoft ecosystem and public cloud offerings. I have an innate obsession for code excellence and I spend much of my time figuring out how to apply the best of breed technologies to accomplish not just immediate project goals, but also align with long term company objectives. Currently I work as a Specialist Tanzu Solution Engineer at VMWare where I help enable our clients with the right skills and tools to be successful. This includes running proof-of-concepts, delivering workshops, and assisting with strategy planning on cloud transformation journey many of our clients are set on.
In my personal life I can best describe myself as an adrenaline junkie trapped in geek’s body, with a list of hobbies including rock climbing, archery, motorcycle riding, light aircraft aviation, and my all time favorite – hang gliding.
