I'm a Senior Release Engineer at Little Caesars. I've spent most of my career on the prod/ops/cloud side and have worked in large variety of industries, including finance, construction and marketing. Coming from ~20 years working on infrastructure gives me unique appreciation of containers and Docker. I’ve spent most of my career managing Microsoft workloads but became Linux certified about 5 years ago and take pride in understanding both worlds.

In my free time, I enjoy playing both classic and current coop video games with my daughter, cycling, watching indie films and listening to obscure music.
