#work
Vice President and Distinguished Engineer at Prudential. Previously responsible for heading Prudential's public cloud platforms and services teams.
#fun
Retro computing and gaming enthusiast.
I try to take a historical preservation approach where I can, aiming to keep the systems running with hardware and software that is representative of the era from which they were at the bleeding edge.
Some of my favorite items in my collection include the IBM PC/XT and Apple IIe.
In 2022 I had a serendipitous collaboration with YouTuber @UsagiElectric in bringing a Wang Writer 5503 back to life!
When I'm not working on old computers, I tinker around with amateur radio or experiment with networking and virtualization on my home lab server rack.
