Welcome to my GitHub Profile! I hope you find something here that interests you.
A little bit about myself. I'm a full stack cloud software engineer specializing in designing and implementing distributed and scalable web applications targeted to run in the cloud using a variety of modern programming languages. Some of my contributions include the following:
- Big data projects at Bloomberg and HPE
- Cloud infrastructure and DevOps at Verizon
- Cloud based applications at Microsoft
