About

I am a computer engineer pursuing a specialization in DevOps to contribute to an evolving philosophy and framework that encourages faster development of new products and easier maintenance of existing deployments. Furthermore, I like tracking the evolution of network technologies as they migrate to the cloud. Also, I write a science fiction novel when I need to relax.
