I am a builder with over 20 years of experience in software engineering and information technology. I currently work as a Principal DevOps Consultant at Amazon Web Services (AWS), where I develop new products and services to increase the speed and safety of software delivery.
I find joy in helping engineering teams deliver at their peak efficiency. I contribute regularly to open source and maintain a project called nektos/act that developers use to run GitHub Actions locally.
Open source projects
- cdklabs/cdk-ecs-codedeploy - CDK constructs to create CodeDeploy ECS deployments
- nektos/act - Run your GitHub Actions locally
- stelligent/mu - Continous delivery of microservices on AWS
- stelligent/pipeline-dashboard - Simple dashboard for pipelines on AWS
