A person trying to leave things better than I found them. 😀
Appalachian born, Pacific Northwest based 🌲.
Software Engineer and AWS Hero. 💻
Spent some time this weekend in the Columbia River Gorge.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your work is step away from it.

Clear head, better ideas. Grateful for views like this.

If someone is on your heart, speak their name. If you can’t visit, call. If you can’t call, text.

This is not OK.

End of an era.

I really liked the intent and the idea, but Amazon is not the company to be releasing a product like this if you want a good developer experience in my opinion.

I'll participate in daily standups if requested for a job, but from my experience the need for them is often due to the team lacking the ability to communicate effectively and/or micro managers.🤷🏻‍♀️

Just got back to the Pacific Northwest after spending time in Phoenix and then Puerto Rico.

Really enjoying that I'm not perpetually sweating anymore. It's like actual fall here! 🍂

Tech is wild. Within the last year I was called "not technical enough" and a "principal engineer."

Don't let the labels get you down and keep on going! It's all arbitrary and made up anyway.

What an amazing week in Seattle at the AWS Heroes Summit!

Heroes- you're an inspiring group, who uplift and mentor so many in your communities, while also pushing for innovation out of AWS. Thank you for all that you do, and a special shout-out to the newest Heroes🙏👏
