I am a big data software architect in the Seattle area with 14 years experience working in web
services and REST, 8 years experience working with NoSQL/Big Data, 4 years experience working with
modern cloud data services, and have expert knowledge of Hadoop/Java/Spring/Python. My passions are centered
around big data, modern cloud architectures, and
graphs.
Please view my resume or social profiles on the left for more details.
I am currently employed at
The Walt Disney Company
as a Sr. Staff Software Architect. In this role, I work with various groups within Disney to design
and build scalable data systems.
Prior to Disney I was employed at Cisco as a web services engineer in their
Utilities/Smart Grid Group
working on building a user-facing, smart grid web platform. I also worked on different web-based
video technologies.
Before Cisco, I worked on the web services team for a home network technology company aquired by
Cisco that was called
Pure Networks.
I've also worked as a website/web-application engineer at
Focus Design,
a full-service media agency.
I have a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science with an emphasis in networking and artificial
intelligence from BYU. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and four children,
keeping up with the latest technology in BigData/NoSQL (esp. with graph databases), and finding
opportunities to learn new technologies for no other reason than that they seem interesting
to me.
