40 and Fabulous

I'm the Director of Developer Relations and Growth at Aiven, founder and co-host of the popular Arrested DevOps podcast, and the global chair of the DevOpsDays set of conferences.

Due to my keen insight into the changing landscape of technology, I recently changed my license plate from DEVOPS to KUBECTL.

He lives in the Chicagoland area and have three awesome kids and two Australian Shepherds, whom I love just a little bit more than I love Diet Coke.

I'm open to

mentoring,

speaking at events,

and speaking on podcasts.
