I run a DevOps team at Michigan Medicine at the University of Michigan. We help medical research teams build and run the software they need to improve health outcomes.
Over the course of my career I've worked as a software developer for a long time, done a lot of DevOps, been an engineering manager, and run a product team. Generally making software work for people is a lot of fun and I have a special interest in software design, where it helps teams of people work on things together over time. My preferences in languages, frameworks, systems, and tools tend to follow that team-focused line of thinking. Similarly in engineering management, I have enjoyed helping engineers build their skills and careers by finding ways to be successful as teammates and make great software together with others.
Also in this mix of a career and life I am a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, having lived and worked in Tanzania teaching everything from computer basics to Linux system administration and Java programming... and of course learning so much more myself. Asanteni Watanzania!
TLDR: People and software FTW! 😀
