I currently lead the Cloud Foundation Services team at Starbucks. We are building the Starbucks PaaS to allow digital platforms to be deployed globally with a focus on automation, scalability, performance, security, and developer experience.

Prior to Starbucks, I led Celerity's Technology Innovation and Architecture practice and founded Zoombit and served in technology leadership at Huge and PBS.

Yes. I seriously hate tomatoes.
