Governing Board

Software engineer and maintainer of the open source project Shipwright. Currently at Red Hat, enhancing developer experience on the OpenShift Container Platform.

I started my career as a software engineer and technology consultant, specializing in analytic applications. I helped my clients design and implement high-quality technology products that improve operational awareness and system efficiency. I worked with business and IT stakeholders to construct a thorough understanding of operational processes, identify strategic technology goals, design innovative data-driven solutions, and manage these projects to completion. My engagements included rigorous requirements analysis, consensus-driven problem-solving, and the application of software engineering best practices, all of which helped create successful and transformative products.
I then dabbled in the startup universe at Findyr, conducting crowdsourced market research and data collection all over the world.

Today I lead a team of phenomenally talented engineers at Red Hat that improves the experience of developers who use Kubernetes to deploy their applications. In that spirit I am also one of the maintainers of Shipwright, an open source framework for building container images on Kubernetes.
