Over twenty years in software. I started at Operitel on learning management (later acquired by OpenText), then three years at Tenable building application security tools in Scala — the kind of work that sits at the intersection of static analysis and functional programming.
While at Tenable I started podcasting — first guest-hosting for Software Engineering Daily, then IEEE Software, and eventually launching my own show, CoRecursive. The podcast led to a role at Earthly Technologies, where I spent three years writing and speaking for developers about build tools and the case for treating builds like code.
Pulumi was the natural next step — infrastructure as actual code, in real programming languages, with the same engineering practices we apply everywhere else. As a Community Engineer here I do developer communication: writing, recording, and live demos that explain how the tools actually work.
