Background and Industry Experience

I have been in IT for over 10 years with various positions as a developer and leadership roles. I have served as a senior developer from 6 years and implementing several applications during that time from financial to law enforcement. I have also served as the Information Technology Manager at the Sacramento District Attorney office and orchestrated the move from on-premises hosting to cloud. Oversaw a yearly budget of 1.6 million for the department and led several organization transformations through my career.

I currently work as a Solution Architect and help several customers achieve the goal of cloud maturity. I truly have a passion for cloud technology and advise clients both private and public on migration strategies, I have a particular focus on Application enhancements (Event driven architecture) and enjoy learning new techniques.
