From the basement to the cloud...

I am a Cloud Architect and Developer Advocate with experience in AWS and OCI. I create content designed to help developers with Cloud-Based technologies. This includes AWS, OCI, and occasionally Azure. I'm not excluding GCP, I just haven't had any excuse to dive into GCP yet. As far as development is concerned, my area of focus is predominantly .NET, though these days, I do branch out occasionally into NodeJS and Python. I am available for in-person speaking events as well as virtual sessions. I can usually be found at Boston Code Camp. Opinions expressed on my blog are my own, and should not be considered to be the opinions of my employer.
