At heart, I am a toolsmith - I thrill at the task of transforming a complex process into a reusable tool. I enjoy scaled things. Scaled automation through DevOps and the Cloud and scaled expertise sharing through blogging, training and social. I enjoy sharing. I am a pragmatic innovator who likes to make things that people like to use - Adoption Driven Development, if you will tolerate one more acronym. Before I came to GitLab, I worked at a large SaaS company with over 4000 developers and 100 SaaS solutions. As a working team lead, I and my team ran GitLab as a scaled, highly available service. My team and I also maintained IaC automation that ran on tens of thousands of Windows and Linux instances that comprise complex SaaS stacks in AWS.
