I'm an enthusiastic helper and action-oriented doer that likes to see people smile because they just did something awesome! 😎
At work, you'll find me developing public learning content for GitHub's Accredidation, Certification, and Enablement (ACE) team. That's evolving on the daily, so I'll wait a bit before I share more details!
In the past, I was deep in the energy industry (15+ years). Back then, you could find me building frameworks and core (software) technologies for promoting energy transition and carbon out. #HackThePlanet I was a pushy advocate for the Baker Hughes developers, and I tried my best to organize a GitHub organization @bh-ent-tech. I was also heavily involved in the LatinX employee advocacy group as the tech guru and events leader. Best volunteers ever! And, great memories! 💚

Ask me about:
🏅 Coding Best Practices - Particularly Python, Javascript-based, and C#.
📖 Documentation Best Practices - It's like the gym. We all know it should be done, but we don't actually do it every day. Just do it! ✅
⚔️ Cybersecurity - Definitely not an expert, but we should always be learning more here. Especially with AI going mainstream!
