I'm a platform engineer, technical lead, developer, technologist, geek, husband, father, dog dad, gamer, and avid learner. Technology and software development are my passions. I enjoy solving complex problems, writing code, tinkering, engineering solutions and learning new technologies. I'm an opensource advocate and would like to contribute more to opensource.
