I currently work as a Principal at West Monroe. + +I am passionate about .NET, helping clients build solid scalable digital products, building strong product development teams, and giving back to the community. +I have talked a lot about various technologies and how they can integrate with the .NET platform. + +My professional interests lie in the space of microservices and enterprise backend architecture design, Azure functions, Kubernetes, Terraform, SQL Server, Apache Cassandra, Apache Pulsar, Redis, ElasticSearch and MongoDB. I have built enterprise services in Docker and Azure cloud that have powered logistics, education, healthcare and ecommerce sites. +I am passionate about the C# language, but I have as well built enterprise services in Java/Spring Boot. + +In giving back to the community, I helped to co-found the Software Development Community on Meetup, avid speaker at Chicago Code Camp and have given talks on .NET and Redis at RedisConf. + +Personally, I have a family, live in Chicago, married to my loving husband, Jose, and happy dog dad of two loving min-pins, Bella and Edward. I also speak German fluently. When not coding, I am active in fitness with most recently running the Chase 5K. I also volunteer with Code Platoon, an organization that helps veterans become software developers, and Dank Haus German American Cultural Center. +
