Hi, I’m David!

I’ve spent 25+ years working with technology. I’m a solution architect, with a broad range of experience and skills.

I’m an AWS Certified Solution Architect (Professional), a CNCF-Certified Kubernetes Administrator, Application Developer, Security Specialist, and a remote worker (certification details here)

I’ve written a book, established a thriving community of like-minded container-geeks, built a SaaS, and I blog on topics that interest me.

I apply my skills (and curiosity) to interesting short and long-term international opportunities.
