Grew up in a town of ~250 in Alaska, and spent a couple months each year in Mexico, even getting a diploma from a secondary school in Mazatlán, Mexico.

• Fluent in English

• Conversational proficiency in Spanish

Spent a year of my life dedicated to teaching myself programming, database technologies, web design, web development, IT skills, tech, tools, and more.

Failed at learning these technologies many times, but was able to develop proven mental models for learning on my own.

With the support of a magnificent woman, I was able to bounce back even stronger and re-learn the technologies that I had previously failed.

Through the above trials, I have gained:

• An adaptability to change

• Constant education through self-learning

• Ability to thrive in a remote role

• Strong, analytical problem-solving

I became interested in DevOps when I realized the potential to be had from automation and innovation from developers managing and taking care of infrastructure.

I am currently continuing my education on A Cloud Guru, Udemy, and YouTube.

Current goals/focuses:

• Currently gaining further expertise with are Kubernetes, Docker, GCP, and AWS.

• By the end of 2022, I am hoping to have achieved a DevOps certification in Docker.

• Learn further about data structures, algorithms, and OOP.
