Some of the roles I worked in
I started my career as a Web Developer in the early 2000’s at a small design agency that no-longer exists. I did LAMP stack and ActionScript (Flash). I continued my career as a freelance full-stack Drupal developer Almost 10 years ago I joined Netcentric, a start-up later acquired by Cognizant, where I specialized in the Adobe stack. I worked there for nearly 8 years, in the roles of Frontend Engineer, (I was later promoted to Senior and then Principal), Technical Lead and Principal Software Architect. I worked for MongoDB as a Senior Solutions Architect I now work for Microsoft as a Principal Program Manager Leading e2e DX and dev tools for JavaScript developers building on Azure.
I am also a Google Developer Expert for Web Technologies and Angular. And got a Microsoft MVP Award in 2021 for Developer Technologies.
I am an international technical and key-note speaker. I have spoken at conferences and meetups in the US, Europe, and Latin America.
I am also a regular member of the CPC at the OpenJS Foundation.
THIS IS MY PERSONAL SITE, AND NONE OF THE VIEWS OR OPINIONS EXPRESSED HERE ARE THOSE OF MY EMPLOYERS, PAST OR PRESENT.
My priorities
I come from an alternative to tech background, and have educated myself primarily with community and open-source authored resources. I have now almost 2 decades of experience in the tech industry, and I feel extremely lucky to be part of this amazing community. However, I am very concerned with the diversity gap, and the lack of equal opportunities for minorities. If you want me to participate of an event or conference you host, please make sure you have a Code of Conduct in place, and that you are actively working to make your event AND THE INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE, more inclusive. Thank you.
