I am an industry veteran of 20+ years and a Principal Engineer and founding architect of the Zscaler Posture Control (ZPC) platform. Our team is building a next-generation CNAPP (Cloud Native Application Protection Platform) built on cloud-native technology and taking on a lot of super interesting engineering challenges along the way.
Previous to Zscaler I was at Cisco working closely with Microsoft on technical and practical integrations between AppDynamics and Azure. Prior to my product work, I was a designing, developing, and running teams building enterprise and cloud solutions for numerous fortune 500s around the world.
As an engineer and architect, I’ve worked extensively with enterprise technology stacks from my early professional days in the 90s working with C++ and VB, to the birth of .Net, to the extraordinary growth of the cloud today and modern platforms and languages such as Kubernetes, Kafka, Golang, and .Net. I have extensive experience designing, architecting, and building cloud-native applications. As an engineering leader, I have built and grown engineering teams both in the office and distributed around the world.
I have also been engaging with the technology community for most of my career and can be found speaking at cloud-native related conferences and community events throughout the country. I’m a Microsoft MVP in Azure and also help co-organize various technology meetups and other regional technology organizations.
I have a couple wonderful children and equally wonderful wife who also share my love for the Carolinas and share my love for the unique beauty that is a Carolina sunset! When I’m not coding away or spending time with my family I’m usually hitting the trail or the water with with my camera in tow typically in the Carolinas – when I get lucky around the world.
