About

RECRUITERS PLEASE READ: Not looking for any opportunities right now. Happy where I'm at but I'm always open to meet new connections in the industry as long as it's realistic that we might actually connect on a professional level. Please do not email me with jobs. I am usually tight for free time and can't track down candidates for you. If you disregard this, you will force me to steal all of the infinity stones and snap my fingers out of pure annoyance. So for the good of the universe, please don't. PEOPLE SEEKING CAREER OR CERTIFICATION ADVICE: I try to update my blog with the occasional best practices and career advice that I can but please don't be offended if I don't respond to your PMs. I get TONS of them every day and between work, my family, and studies that doesn't leave a lot of time to respond to everyone on a 1:1 basis. It's nothing personal - just a lack of bandwidth to respond to everyone. I'm a professionally paid nerd by day and by night, you'll usually find me working with a study group towards professional certifications or updating my technical blog. I'm always happy to connect with like-minded professionals on here.
