About Me

My lifelong passion for technology and philosophy drives me to bridge the gap between technical innovation and business strategy. With a Bachelor of Science in Philosophy and Computer Science from the University of South Dakota and over 25 years of industry experience, I empower organizations to navigate the complexities of the digital landscape effectively.

My professional journey began at ThoughtWorks, where I delved into agile software development projects. These early experiences instilled in me the values of flexibility, collaboration, and continuous improvement—principles that are now central to my consulting approach.

In leadership roles at Stelligent and Intent Media, I spearheaded significant transformations. At Stelligent, I introduced continuous delivery and agile practices, streamlining operations and enhancing client satisfaction. As Chief Technology Officer at Intent Media, I led the transition to continuous delivery, implemented microservices and containerization, and reduced AWS costs by 75%. These initiatives not only optimized technical infrastructure but also built high-performing, engaged teams.

My tenure as Senior Director at Snowflake further honed my expertise in support strategy and operations, achieving a 50% reduction in customer support ticket resolution times. These diverse experiences have equipped me with the ability to align technology initiatives with business objectives, ensuring that technical strategies deliver tangible business outcomes.

Since 2008, as an Independent Consultant, I've advised a wide range of clients on agile practices and DevOps principles. My hands-on, tailored approach ensures that each organization I work with achieves sustainable growth and operational excellence.

Community Engagement and Lifelong Learning

Beyond my professional work, I am dedicated to giving back to the tech community and staying ahead of industry trends. As Vice President of the Open Information Foundation and Co-Chair of the Continuous Integration & Testing Conference (CITCON), I contribute to shaping the future of technology. These roles allow me to foster a culture of collaboration and innovation, which I bring into my consulting practices to benefit my clients.
