Experience

1. Technology Manager (VP) - Digital and Cloud Systems

   M&T Bank

   Jan 2024 — Present · Wilmington, DE, US

   The Digital Systems team is responsible for the infrastructure, automation, and pipelines related to non-commercial web and mobile presence and all supporting tools. We\'ll be evolving the rails to modernize legacy, current, and new applications from initiation to production. Cloud Systems is responsible for providing concierge services for applications that are migrating to,or originating in, the Azure cloud.Both teams focus on using automation and standardized tools to create and manage assets in our on-prem, colo, container hosts, and cloud runtime environments. Ansible and Terraform are the primary tools for this, but a heathy mix of other tools and utilities round out the toolbox.I manage two teams of 6 people each with about 30 applications currently under management - but these are highly variable and we have a target application clientele of more than applications.
