About Me
Isaac is a Cloud Solutions Architect and DevOps/SRE Architect who focuses on cloud migrations and DevOps + SRE processes. He also is a dad to three wonderful daughters (hence the references to Princess King sprinkled throughout the blog).
With a background as a Cloud and SRE Architect, I have a passion for process and building out scalable solutions. My career has spanned over 20 years experience, and I’ve had the honor of working at local companies such as Medtronic, Abbott, Thomson Reuters, and CH Robinson with a focus on SRE, DevOps and Cloud Migrations. Today, as a Senior Staff Cloud Architect at Abbott (SJM) in the Structured Heart division, my focus is on transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) next generation solutions. I live in Woodbury, MN and enjoy camping, canoeing and fishing with three wonderful daughters.
As a Google Cloud Innovator Champion and now GDE, I have a passion for Cloud and AI. I routinely blog about the latest in Gen AI (wrt Coding) and Kubernetes.
