I was a founding maintainer of Ollama, the first evangelist at Datadog, and a former organizer of DevOps Days Seattle, DevOps Days Boston, and Serverless Days Boston. I am passionate about gadgets and AI and automation. Some folks don't think that word is appropriate, but it totally fits here. If you meet me in person you will see me light up when I can share with you my latest gadget, tool, or utility. And this is where I get to share that with all of you. You can find more about me at my website (http://technovangelist.com) or on Twitter (http://twitter.com/technovangelist)
