I am a Cloud DevOps Engineer in the Northern Virginia Area.

I have over 6 years of experience developing and automating Full Stack applications in various cloud environments.

Certifications/Hands-on Training

Many years ago when I first came across the phrase DevOps. I believe it was an early conference that was being advertized. I remember being wowed by the lofty DevOps methodologies that were going to shape the future of Software Development. The more I learned about DevOps the more I wanted to learn.

So I challenged myself by successfully completing the belows certifications and Nanodegrees to validate my learning and skills.

Udacity is a global education platform that helps individuals to re-skill or up-skill within the tech industry.

Nanodegrees are essentially role-based credentials that validate project-based hands on learning within a given role. As you can see I have a lot of Nanodegrees. I’m dedicated to continued learning and technical excellence.

Check out my blog posts for more information regarding my IT Certification goals and other training resources I use.
