Never stop building :-)

Work

I'm currently a product manager at Microsoft (my role was recently eliminated), and I'm looking for my next adventure. My experience and skills include cloud/hybrid (Azure edge-to-cloud), virtualization (Hyper-V), databases and data services (SQL Server/MI), and hyperconverged infrastructure (Azure Stack HCI).

My most recent project work includes bringing rebootless updates (Hotpatch) to market on Windows Server Azure VMs, as well as bringing Hotpatch on Windows Server as a promoted workload to Azure Stack HCI guest VMs. Before that I was on a team that brought Windows Admin Center to market.

Prior to Microsoft I had a long tenure at a small Silicon Valley firm (Lundquist Consulting Inc, later acquired by Verisk) doing software development, SQL database design, and team leadership, building a national database software ETL application from the ground up.
