year in review 2022

2022

As we close out 2022, let's take a look at all that has happened. I left Pittsburgh, a city I called home for the last decade, and the world of healthcare technology. I joined Hollywood and the animation industry, attended some amazing events including the World Expo and my first Wrap Party and continued to ship some awesome new software products.

I joined the team at Walt Disney Animation Studios inLos Angeles, California.

I help design and build all sorts of wonderful software tools that the artists and animators use everyday to bring our films to life. You might start seeing a familiar name in the credits 😉

Here. There. Knowledge everywhere.

Attended several industry events this year, learning lots of new things along the way.

Wondering why this section is a chocolate bar? Well that's an inside joke. You will have to get to know the team at UPMC Enterprises to find out. 😉

Farewell Pittsburgh since 2012

After a decade in Pittsburgh, I said goodbye to the city. During the last 10 years, I made some wonderful friends, learned a whole lot and had a lot of fun along the way! Here are a couple big wins during my last 4 years in healthcare at UPMC Enterprises.
