Specializations
Technology is inescapable. It's present in almost every aspect of our lives, ranging from how we work to how we play. That being said, with the everlasting flow of time, technology continues to improve and evolve. I do my best to stay up to date on the latest and greatest. Here are some things I've picked up along the way.
Event Driven Architecture
An architectural paradigm promoting the production, detection, consumption of, and reaction to events. Ample experience both building and designing systems with this paradigm in mind. Primarly with the use of Apache Kafka & Microservices at it's core.
Web Development
Success online starts with a great website for both desktop and mobile users. But ultimately, it starts with building a website that's best for you. Whether it's built using WordPress, React, Vue, or even just plain-old HTML, CSS, and JavaScript it should be built with the best SEO practices in mind.
Cloud Computing
Experienced in building products for both public (AWS) and private (OpenStack) clouds primarly to deliver things such as Kafka as a service throughout your organization using a combination of tools such as Terraform and Atlantis
