Platforming The Future

As a seasoned technology leader with a passion for technology, I'm excited to share my insights on industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies. Join me as I explore the latest developments in platform engineering, cloud computing, devops, agile methodologies, artificial intelligence and more. My blog is a mix of technical and analog life observations. I do not have a regular posting cadence, but I do try to keep this feed fairly current.
