Summary

Determined critical thinker with a passion for "getting my hands dirty". My nine years of experience with US Navy afloat systems, tied with the experience I received while transitioning the Navy from their on-premises infrastructure to the Azure Cloud, provide a unique vision of what is required for transitioning a large existing platform to the cutting edge. My experience with hybrid domain configurations allows me the luxury to keep my thinking outside the box and ready for a new challenge.
