Making enterprise EUC feel like a product.
I'm a lead infrastructure engineer focused on End User Computing, Infrastructure as Code and DevOps at enterprise scale. My days are Ansible roles, pipelines, Citrix WEM and the occasional deep dive into why a session is slow. The goal is a platform that runs itself, and application teams that don't need to file a ticket to ship.
Forward only. Rebuild, don't roll back.
