About

I am a driven leader with a passion for cutting edge technology and a proponent for sharing that knowledge. As part of sales leadership, I enable my SA team to align with product, sales, and engineering teams, to help customers learn and use a continuous delivery platform architected for the enterprise. Prior to joining CloudBees, I was an engineer at Capital One where I developed APIs for Apple Pay and helped lead their REST API initiative to include the streamlining of CI/CD processes. I provide a realistic, practical approach to help customers realize continuous delivery.
