As you can no doubt see I'm not a frontend designer, but I do software, startups, product design, etc. If you also think that most companies would benefit more from regular backup testing than a chatbot, I'd love to connect.

Currently, I work for Microsoft's AI and Intelligent Devices support org solving technically complex problems with the most strategic, high-profile, and high-paying Azure AI customers. I've worked with engineers at over 100 companies building tools for case law research, meta-analysis of energy projects, personal healthcare data review, movie review chatbots, and much more.

For a peek at the day-to-day, I recently had a case centered around the question: "how do you configure customer-managed keys on an Azure OpenAI resource at creation time using Terraform to satisfy a bank's organization-wide policy designed to meet regulatory requirements for key management?" An engineer I helped with that problem wrote a great article about our solution if, for some inexplicable reason, you find yourself curious!

Besides solving support requests, I lead small teams, build internal documentation and troubleshooting guides, handle sensitive escalations, and post pictures of my hikes and cats in our Teams chats. You'd soon be jealous of remote Wyoming's incredible vistas. And of how photogenic my cats are.

My expertise: Azure AI

On the side, I hack on Write it Right and work on side projects like:

• Prototyping automated review of contractor engineering reports against a city’s unified development code and engineering design manual.
• Automated tailoring of marketing materials for B2B sales/lead gen for a client advisory service.
• Adapting our consumer job-app-app to supplement career prep programs at community colleges and trade schools.

For fun I'm an avid hiker, amateur cellist, paper-reader, space enthusiast, sci-fi nerd, finance-curious, travel addict, strategy gamer, cat lover, and other things. I live in the mountains of Wyoming, a US state you may or may not have heard of, where the breathing is recreational (7200+ ft elevation) and the people are hardy.
