Seattle, Washington
I'm a life-long technology lover and language enthusiast, a former English professor, and currently a Technical Lead for full-stack projects across the Azure landscape.
At Provoke Solutions, I specialize in .NET, Azure, and serverless technologies and have spent most of my time on data ingestion and data cleanup. I've built dynamic, configuration-based solutions that cover new scenarios without redeployment; custom monitoring solutions for stability and data-driven decisions; and numerous ground-up applications in .NET that utilize a wide range of Azure technologies. I'm interested in data-in-transition, scalability, analytics, and machine learning and have worked mostly in that space. Although, I do love to work on front end when I have the chance.
Before web development, I did some time as an English professor where I learned a gratuitous amount of patience. During that time, I published two collections of poetry. I'm still interested in language and have dabbled in natural language processing for artistic purposes (and even published a few hybrid AI-collaborative poems).
My goal is to always deliver top-notch, easily-extendable code to my clients and to encourage growth within my team.
