cloud native notes

Technology, musings and anything else that comes to mind.

About Me

Image alt text I’m a business and technology leader with over 15 years of experience focused on bringing impactful product solutions to life, particularly within the global service provider, financial, public, and enterprise sectors. My background is rooted in cloud native solutions, ISV & cloud native partnerships, and technical pre-sales.

Currently, I’m a Master Principal Cloud Architect at Oracle, where I work in North America Cloud Infrastructure Engineering. My focus is on helping cloud-native and ISV customers leverage cloud technologies like IaaS, PaaS, GPUaaS, AI/ML, HPC, and DBaaS to achieve their business goals and drive innovation. I spend my time working with a range of companies, from Fortune 100s to start-ups, designing global cloud-native architectures and scaling strategic partnerships.

Before Oracle, I spent a significant part of my career at Cisco Systems. There, I held various leadership roles, including Director of Cloud Native Products, where I led the strategy for Kubernetes services and SaaS solutions, and Director of Multi-cloud Products and Solutions. I’ve had the opportunity to launch several product solutions, including platforms for Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code, and multi-cloud integrations with partners like AWS and Google. Leading technical teams and driving innovation has always been a core part of my work.

My technical interests lie heavily in AI/ML, GPUaaS, GenAI, and Cloud Native technologies. I enjoy tackling complex problems and have a growth mindset focused on achieving measurable outcomes.

I hold a Master of Engineering (MEng) in Compute and Electrical from Dalhousie University and a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Genetics from Western University. I’m a life long learner and have continued my eduction journey with courses Stanford Online and MIT Sloan.

Beyond the Office

Away from cloud architectures and technology strategies, I live in Hingham MA with my family. My wife and I, both Canadian-born and now proud U.S. citizens, have created our home here with our two wonderful children. We’ve embraced coastal New England living and take full advantage of our proximity to the harbor. Summer months are spent sailing and fishing on the water, while during winters we hit the slopes and proudly embrace the “ski the east” motto through snowboarding and skiing adventures.

Through this blog, I hope to share insights, experiences, and thoughts related to cloud native solutions, technology leadership, and the evolving tech landscape.
