Did you ever imagine someone from small-town America would end up building cloud solutions in Japan? Six months ago, I couldn\u2019t either. Hi everyone! I\u2019m excited to share a bit about my journey, my passions, and how I hope to contribute to our team at Alterbooth. Whether you\u2019re curious about my background, my love for music, or my path into tech, I hope this post sparks a conversation!<\/p>\n

Hometown and University<\/h2>\n

Where I\u2019m From:<\/h4>\n

Grand Junction, Colorado, a small town of about 60,000 people spread across 104 km\u00b2 of desert. Known for its peaches, wine, and endless outdoor adventures, it\u2019s where I learned to love hiking, fishing, and motorcycle camping in the Grand Mesa mountains.<\/p>\n

<\/span>

Fun Fact:<\/h4>\n

I\u2019m a classically trained percussionist and have performed with many ensembles. In high school, I began focusing on jazz drumming and marching drumline.<\/p>\n

Education:<\/h4>\n

I earned my bachelor\u2019s degree in computer science (with a minor in cybersecurity) at Colorado Mesa University, all while juggling classes in jazz performance and marching band.<\/p>\n

Early Career: Walker Products<\/h2>\n

Internship & First Job:<\/h4>\n

During college, I interned at Walker Products, a vehicle sensor manufacturer. After graduating, I joined full-time as a software engineer, overseeing the design and maintenance of software and hardware for testing MAF sensors (which measure air intake in engines, pictured below).<\/p>\n

A Job with Many Hats:<\/h4>\n

I also ran the engineering team\u2019s 3D printer farm, developed desktop applications, and had my hands in projects doing everything from mechanical and chemical engineering to fabrication and soldering.<\/p>\n

Eventually, I realized I wanted a new challenge and started exploring opportunities in Japan.<\/p>\n

Moving to Japan and Davey<\/h2>\n

First Steps in Japan:<\/h4>\n

I arrived in Fukuoka in October 2023 as a language student, attending school near Hakata for six months.<\/p>\n

System Engineer at Davey Japan:<\/h4>\n

I joined Davey Japan, an automotive export company, as their system engineer. My role included:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Setting up AWS-based web app architecture for inventory, sales, and invoicing<\/li>\n
  • Managing their GitHub<\/li>\n
  • Migrating and administering their M365 Tenant<\/li>\n
  • Developing application code<\/li>\n
  • General IT guy things like improving their Wi-Fi and swapping computers to SSDs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It was a temporary position, so I began searching for my next adventure.<\/p>\n

    Joining Alterbooth<\/h2>\n

    And now we\u2019re here! 6 months ago, a friend introduced me to Mr. Kojima, and soon after I joined Alterbooth\u2019s Cloud Solution department.<\/p>\n

    What I\u2019m Excited About:<\/h4>\n
      \n
    • Learning more about cloud technologies and their impact on the modern world<\/li>\n
    • Building a life in Japan and experiencing new things<\/li>\n
    • Collaborating with talented colleagues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Skills & Interests<\/h2>\n

      Tech Skills:<\/h4>\n
        \n
      • Cloud solutions (Azure, AWS)<\/li>\n
      • Software engineering<\/li>\n
      • Cybersecurity<\/li>\n
      • Computer hardware<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Personal Interests:<\/h4>\n
          \n
        • Jazz drumming & music<\/li>\n
        • Hiking & camping<\/li>\n
        • Motorcycles<\/li>\n
        • Exploring Japanese culture<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          How I Can Help<\/h2>\n

          If you need support with cloud solutions, IT projects, or just want to talk music or hiking, I\u2019m always happy to connect. I look forward to working with everyone and learning together!<\/p>\n

          Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n\n
