I’m a multidisciplinary technologist and creative professional with 20+ years of hands-on experience spanning Linux systems, WordPress development, digital media production, and cloud/virtualization technologies. I’ve always gravitated toward roles where I can build, solve, design, and communicate at the same time. Whether I’m architecting a server environment, developing a custom WordPress plugin, producing video content, or diving into the latest cloud-native trends, I thrive at the intersection of technology, creativity, and storytelling. Over the past two decades, I’ve also had the privilege of working as an event reporter and interviewer for VMblog.com, covering major cloud and virtualization events across the country. I’ve interviewed hundreds of CEOs, CTOs, and industry innovators—translating complex technology into accessible, engaging content for a global audience. That work has only strengthened my passion for exploring new ideas and sharing them with others. At my core, I’m driven by curiosity and a genuine love of learning—especially when it comes to emerging technologies, AI, DevOps, and the evolving cloud-native ecosystem. I enjoy bringing clarity to complex topics and helping others understand the trends that are shaping our industry. Today, I’m channeling that passion into a new venture: The Stack Observer—a brand focused on delivering insights, interviews, and perspectives from the front lines of Cloud-Native, DevOps, and AI. It’s the next evolution of my work as a technologist, journalist, and creator, and I’m excited to build something that helps the community stay informed and inspired.
