I enjoy Cloud Computing, Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence, DevOps, SRE, Infrastructure as Code, software/hardware integration, application development, and random fun things to learn related to computer science.
DevOps and SRE tools such as TravisCI, Jenkins, Artifactory, Bash, LInux, Kubernetes, Docker, OpenShift, Grafana, PagerDuty. Deploy patches, fixes, and updates to existing Kubernetes clusters clients use for the Blockchain TradeLens.
Hybrid Cloud Build Team - Terraform, HCL, Linux, Bash scripting, Infrastructure as Code (IAC), deploy Red Hat OpenShift & Kubernetes clusters, and IBM Cloud Pak installation automation. In my role I'm able to help non-IBM partners (GSI, ISV) find easier, more open source ways to install, deploy, and use Cloud Pak software on OpenShift/Kubernetes clusters - regardless of the cloud company they want to use. ex. Cloud Pak for Data installed and deployed on an OpenShift cluster inside either IBM Cloud, AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (or quite frankly anywhere, including on-prem). The flip side of that is I also work regularly with partners to streamline getting their existing 3rd party software developed, validated, deployed, and then On-boarded to IBM Cloud Catalog.

Working on tying in multiple existing open source DevOps tools into one web application deployed using microservices, where data can be gathered & used to optimize performance tuning - possibly with deep reinforcement learning (AIOps).
Consumption Insights - CIO/CFO internal chargeback application development and data analytics for all of IBM. Mostly Spark / Scala / SQL (w/Zeppelin), Linux, some containers / containerization, DevOps, and cloud computing, OpenShift, and extensive, daily use of Jira with Scrum / Agile. We are working towards building a robust machine learning model for financial consumption data for all of IBM CIO/CFO, and are currently in the data preparation phase.
