I'm an accomplished, hands-on, & well informed IT professional with 15+ years of experience in providing strategic guidance regarding IT technology and infrastructural enhancements. In my current role as a Lead Tanzu Emerging Solutions Engineer within VMware’s Modern Applications & Management Business Group (MAMBG), I'm supporting clients and organizations adopting new technologies to accomplish business goals and IT objectives, which are mainly oriented towards application modernization as well as on the platforms to run such modern applications (Microservices). I'm also part of VMware’s Office of the CTO Ambassador program and help to ensure an active collaboration between VMware’s R&D and field organizations as well as customers across Europe. I'm very keen on cloud native technologies and an active team-member and contributor of the open source project VMware Event Broker Appliance (https://vmweventbroker.io). This project has the intention to reveal the hidden potential of events in VMware’s SDDC by providing event-driven interactions with VMware solutions like e.g. vSphere.
