I am continuously in awe of technology and people interaction. How do we break up complex problems into understandable and sizeable bits, solve daily challenges with technology, build better communities and inspire people to stand on the shoulder of giants?

My curiosity has led me to serve as a Developer Advocate, Builder of Communities, Professional Trainer, Prolific Writer, Technology Advocate and creator of intuitive, interesting and impactful technology solutions.

I am energetic, uber-charismatic and a firm believer of inspiring greatness around people.
