> Senior Software Engineer at Salesforce | kubernetes

Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/rolland

I started college as a mechanical engineer until I realized how much I disliked its courses.
I ended college doing what I really enjoy while learning new technologies and skills. 

In the subsequent time after graduation I have been pursuing skills applicable to future growth; careers & opportunities have come along as a byproduct of that.
