I really enjoy my work, and I like to wear multiple hats from hands on tech lead to Architect to DBA to DevOps and now AI

Technology doesn't exist in a vacuum; it is important to always stay focused on the underlying business objectives that drive technical innovations and implementations. I never lose sight of this fact.

I love the fact that in tech, I can be innovative, creative and impactful! To stay relevant in tech you must embrace being a life-long learner and be willing to reinvent yourself when the Paradym shifts, as we saw with the emergence of Cloud Computing and we are now seeing with AI.

I enjoy my work, which is something so few people can say. I like to wear multiple technical skill hats and love being able to "mix it up". I am primarily focused on Microsoft technologies including dot Net Core and Azure including all aspects of Compute, Data/Big Data, DevOps, and AI/ML.

There are a couple of things I recently learned that are interesting: 1) using the Microsoft Trusted Signing service in Azure; 2) using RAG and semantic kernel / vector database in generative AI to customize the generated content to consider external data sources outside the LLM.

I am comfortable working as a hands-on full stack developer, an Enterprise / Solutions Architect, a DBA, a DevOps engineer and an AI Engineer.

I am able to effectively communicate at all levels of the tech hierarchy, including C-Level sponsors, to PO, to BA, to Junior and intern engineers.

In my roles I am generally involved in all aspects of technical solutions delivery, including requirements, budget estimation, systems and software architecture, POC, security, deployment, review, policy.
