I'm looking for a new role! With 30 years in the industry, I'm excited to start a new chapter. I believe every ending creates space for something more rewarding. I love taking intricate technical concepts and making them click for people. Whether through content, community work, or strategic enablement, my best days are when I help practitioners understand powerful tools and drive adoption. What I Bring My career bridges deep technical capability with clear communication: Content That Drives Adoption: I've created 700+ hours of video content and maintain newsletters reaching 6,300+ subscribers (DevOps'ish, EKS.news). I've given countless talks that translate complexity into clarity, driving revenue and reducing support load. Community Impact: As a former CNCF Ambassador and current Kubernetes Contributor Comms co-lead, I led communications for the K8s registry migration, achieving zero downtime globally. I've onboarded dozens of contributors and helped shape how we discuss cloud native tech. Shipping Big Things: I led the AWS re:Invent 2023 Kubernetes track with 50+ speakers and 30+ sessions, improving CSAT scores. I drove Valkey's developer engagement strategy—it's now the de facto Redis fork worldwide. I organized and hosted GitOpsCon EU 2021 with 300+ attendees, making it a top 2 KubeCon Day 0 event. Earlier in my career, I led a $1M AWS cloud migration with measurable savings. Technical Depth: I bring 30 years across IT ops, DevOps, the Kubernetes/CNCF ecosystem, open source tooling (Linux/Ansible), multi-cloud environments, and container technologies. Bonus: I'm now AI-enabled. What I'm Looking For Roles where technical experience meets storytelling. Three must-haves: customer-facing, cloud-native, and storytelling-heavy. Developer Advocate, Technical Marketing Manager, and Product Marketing Manager roles fit perfectly. Solutions Architect positions could work if they involve customer-facing technical communication and enablement. I'm especially interested in companies building cloud native tools or Kubernetes-based platforms—that's my playground. The Remote Piece I need remote work as a disabled veteran managing nerve/spine damage, PTSD, and anxiety. My Detroit care team keeps me going. I'm near a major Delta hub and have done same-day international trips when needed. Remote doesn't mean unavailable—I'm committed to being responsive and engaged. Let's Connect After three decades, I know my value: I make complex tech accessible, build communities around products, and drive adoption through authentic technical storytelling. I'm available now for full-time roles; contract work could also fit. If you're building something great and need someone who translates technical depth into business impact, let's talk.
