Summary

I have worked in the tech industry for over 15 years. And I've worked with several big name companies such as HP, Apple, Comcast, etc. I consider myself an automation experts empowering clients to let the software do the thinking. My goals generally revolve around getting clients to have unattended deployments, testing, and other infrastructure needs. I generally write code that scales, so I always design architecture with growth in mind. I also put quality first, but I am empathetic of time constraints, and I believe automation allows for both.
