01. About me

As a curious and empathetic problem-solver, I enjoy consulting large enterprises as they plan, design and optimize their data landscape. From implementing business-critical databases to zero-trust models, I am constantly learning and constantly sharing what I learn with my customers and now with the public with this new website built on Next.js, React, and Markdown.

02. Interests and Hobbies

I like to dip my toes in lots of different hobbies and interests, which is reflected in my role as a generalist at work. On the weekends, you can usually find me running, spending time with friends, playing with my dog at the local park, and working on my website. I also enjoy water polo, surfing, and exploring San Diego.

03. Specialization

I'm on the path to become a data specialist. This includes building on top of cloud platforms like the big 3 hyperscalers and virtualization technologies like VMware, RedHat, and NetApp. My next certification that I'm targeting is AWS Solution Architect Associate.
