I am a long-time techie based in the Pacific Northwest. I've been a v- employee at Microsoft (i.e., contractor/vendor) where I first started building on .NET in 2001, and spent almost 9 years at AWS, where I was a Principal Solutions Architect on the Microsoft platform team. I'm now the Director of Cloud Services at Evolve, helping customers modernize off of Windows and SQL Server. The one constant throughout is that I love traveling, learning new tech, and meeting new people.
