Hi there! I'm Dylan. I'm excited to help you (and your team, as applicable) to grow, to build, and to ship. I genuinely enjoy listening to, and deepening my understanding of, your needs; working with you to design and develop appropriate solutions; and putting them out into the world. In a pinch, I'm happy to help your growing company migrate from Heroku onto AWS.
Technically, my specialization has been around developing and deploying Ruby on Rails applications and the infrastructure underpinning them. My deep experience with systems and networks-cum-DevOps well predates the term "DevOps", going back about 20 years.
In terms of industry, I've long worked with social impact-focused organizations, particularly in education and healthcare. I'm professional, well-exposed to the particularities in these markets, and pragmatic regarding business needs in the social impact sector.
Let's have a conversation to see if we can find ways to help each other get better. I look forward to hearing from you.
