I am a passionate software developer currently working remotely with an interest in the 12-factor app methodology, and open-source tooling such as Docker, MongoDB, Vagrant, NodeJS, and many others. I come from a Microsoft background with an MCSD: Web Applications Solutions Developer Certification and a strong use of Visual Studio. I strive to reduce the friction between the operations, development, quality-assurance and project management teams using DevOps principles as well as apply them to building highly available, scalable, and maintainable applications.
