Summary
I help people build platforms that run the world. Specifically I help build cloud-neutral global data platforms that are heart of global brands. I've worked with large companies that want to create "silicon valley" like experiences for millions users world wide.
These days, I focus on this stack: C#/TypeScript/JS + Cassandra/Spark/Kafka + Terraform/Ansible/Docker/Kubernetes though have used over 40 different programming languages and too many different frameworks and platforms to count.
I've also taught and mentored hundreds of people over the last 25 years formally and informally, and host weekly webinars on Data Engineering and Cassandra, recorded and put on Youtube. I've attached my latest Cassandra World Party talk.
