Hey, I'm a technologist that enjoys working with customers to find innovative solutions to their challenges. I enjoy learning new technologies and mentoring others.
Work Experience
Astronomer
Our data orchestration platform allowed centralized teams to run reliable and scalable Airflow while making developers more productive. I worked with Global 100 customers to solve challenges with running data teams at scale.
Turbonomic
Turbonomic's technology helped customers assure application perfomance while minimizing cost in cloud and Kubernetes environments. I worked with customers to understand and design solutions to their scaling challenges.
As the organization grew from 150 to 700 people, I helped to build and recruit enterprise presales teams in the Central and Western US. I developed POV methodoligies that were utilized company wide to improve conversion rates, and rolled out training to over 50 team members. Turbonomic was acquired by IBM.
IBM Cloud
In the IBM Cloud unit we focused on enabling the back office transition to cloud in large enterprises. I worked to design and launch offerings consumed by marketing teams, and helped to develop usage frameworks to make it more attractive for IBM customers to consume cloud.
Platform 9 Systems
Platform9 allows users to deploy and run Kubernetes clusters anywhere and manage them locally. As one of 4 presales engineers I helped to drive engagments with customers primairly focused on distributed and edge use cases. We proved that a retail customer could spin up and manage a 3 node K8s cluster in every store, while managing infrastructure and updates centrally.
