I'm an expert in infrastructure engineering. Currently, I am at X-Team as a Senior DevOps Engineer, working remotely as I travel the world, though my home base is Los Angeles, California, USA. Additionally, I serve as Chief Technology Officer for Rcktshp, a startup that develops websites for organizations with missions in social impact. Before these roles, I worked at Upside Business Travel, Red Ventures, Onica, and QuadraNet. I hold a BA in Sociology from San Francisco State University and have done PG studies in Global Justice at The University of Sheffield.

I consider myself a "computer nerd", an activist, a dog lover, an enthusiast of cities, and a seasoned traveler. I have been working with computers since childhood and have developed extensive skills in Windows Server and Linux. When away from the computer, I enjoy e-skating around town and traveling both domestically around the US and internationally. So far, I have been to 38 countries and am not stopping any time soon.

I am interested in progressive activism and am inspired by the topics of: anti-repression, anti-racism, feminism, socialism, drug reform, and migration reform. On the streets, I have live-streamed various protests & rallies from Oakland, to Occupy Wall Street in NYC, to London. I also enjoy exploring the urban landscape, eating, and camping.

I have completed courses in JavaScript, Python, and Node.js. I'm currently studying to attain my certifications as a Certified Kubernetes Administrator and a HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate to help organizations migrate their stacks toward more current technologies. I'd love to acquire more skills in the DevOps/SRE realm, and one day, successfully launch my own tech company.
