I’m a Principal AI Advocate on the Cloud Native DevRel team at Microsoft with 13+ years of experience helping developers succeed across AI, Cloud, and open-source technologies. I specialize in building technical strategy and trusted relationships with partners including GitHub, NVIDIA, Arm, Inc., Oracle, IBM, Broadcom and Red Hat, while keeping up with competitors including AWS, Google, and emerging players like CoreWeave.
Learning by teaching is one of my favorite things. I currently enjoy working at the intersection of developer relations and AI enablement in the cloud at Microsoft and I’m always looking to demonstrate solutions for real-world challenges through advocacy, demos, and partnerships.
