Products, Alexa AI, Amazon Author: Cloud Native Patterns (https://www.manning.com/books/cloud-native-patterns) A software technologist with more than 30 years experience who helps to drive technical strategy, product development and go to market, and to help customers leverage said technology to further their business goals. I prefer to spend half my time directly engaged with customers and prospects deeply understanding their needs and helping them solve their problems. The other half of the time I distill what I learn through these engagements and use that to drive product evolution as well as industry advancement through evangelism – conferences and writing. My personal mantra is “free your mind.” And I still cut code, even if only a bit of the time. When not doing those things you can find her on the yoga mat or in the kitchen.
