Get good at delivering software℠
Your company has grown and the processes you’ve built organically don’t work like they used to
You've started initiatives to speed your software delivery (more than once), but you're still not there
You're acquiring companies, but integrating engineering feels much harder than HR
I help portfolio companies get teams working together to deliver software more often and with higher confidence.

About
I have successfully led and coached DevOps transformations and operational maturity achievement at companies like Salesforce, Barracuda Networks, Cable & Wireless, MeridianLink, and SolarWinds.
Despite being a Silicon Valley veteran, I'm not content to work only with unicorns, and have tackled some of the major cultural and structural impediments to Dev and Ops collaboration. I have successfully helped transform organizations to new models of service delivery, resulting in cost reductions, resiliency, efficiency, and much better ability to compete in the market.
Between those and my best-selling video course, Mastering DevOps, I have improved the lives of thousands of IT professionals around the world.

I'm available for speaking at your organization or conference! In addition to the topics above I've given custom private talks about how SRE fits in with the engineering organization, metrics driven development, managing work in progress, migration to cloud, and more.
