After graduating from Northern Arizona University with a Bachelor’s dual degree in Business Administration and Computer Information Systems I went to work for the American Graduate School of International Management now known as Thunderbird School of Global Management in their Information Technology Services department. My work there over the years covered everything from PC support, LAN management, SIS programming, system administration and eventually datacenter management. When Thunderbird merged into the Arizona State University ecosystem I was assimilated into the University Technology Office (now known as Enterprise Technology) into the Linux Server Support team. My first assignment was to migrate necessary services out of the Thunderbird datacenter and decommission it. That took almost 3 years. I then joined the Cloud Acceleration team and worked on migrating ASU datacenter resources to Amazon Web Services (AWS). This eventually led me to joining the AI Acceleration team as an Orchestration Engineer.
