I'm a driven, energetic Scrum Master and writer with a masters in anthropology and a number of certifications in Scrum, Scaled Agile, and IT. My background in anthropology allows me to look for ways to affect the culture and environments I'm placed in, while my professional experience in software development and IT provides me with the skill set to address and handle team needs and stakeholder priorities. My focus is on learning the culture of a team to find out what practices and processes work best for them and adapting to meet their needs, while keeping them focused on a shared vision. I am proficient in tools such as JIRA, TFS, Visio, Project, and ProVision. I enjoy game design, storytelling, and creative writing. I've published a number of short stories and flash fiction, as well as created short video games using Twine and RPG Maker VX Ace.

Recognized for driving digital transformation through pioneering DevOps initiatives and leveraging open-source solutions, I specialize in cloud-native development and advanced automation. My efforts have consistently delivered tools that streamline workflows, boost productivity, and empower organizations to scale efficiently. At CDW, I represented Red Hat, supporting client engagements, pre-sales efforts, and business development initiatives. I led proof-of-concept (POC) projects focused on application modernization, leveraging Red Hat products—primarily OpenShift—and GitOps methodologies. Additionally, I played a key role in consultative engagements, helping clients design and implement innovative solutions tailored to their needs. At FoxIO, I led research and development efforts focused on rapid prototyping and strategic innovation. By integrating security, automation, data science, and open-source technologies, our team not only enhanced product functionality but also strengthened industry-standard security detection systems, setting new benchmarks in reliability and performance. Currently, as a mid-career professional, I am seeking opportunities to contribute meaningful impact in a contributor role, as an independent contractor, or in full/part-time positions. I aim to join a forward-thinking team with long-term vision, where I can continually learn, share knowledge, and make a lasting difference.
