I am currently the AI Enablement Practice Lead at Asperitas Consulting. I help organizations unlock real value from AWS and Azure—cutting costs, improving security, and achieving greater performance and availability. We combine DevOps, SRE, and AI-driven automation to make cloud management faster, safer, and more scalable. I routinely speak at technical conferences such as DevOps West, DevNexus, the Chicago Cloud Conference, and many others. My books include "The Java EE Architect's Handbook" and "Microservices for Java EE Architects".
