What Am I Doing Now?

Professionally

Without getting too deep into the details, professionally, I work on Jetpack.

I’m leading the Jetpack Crew group of teams. The teams within Crew handle the Jetpack developer experience, developer infrastructure (e.g. our GitHub setup, CLI), release process, foundational technology, data analytics, and data/AI/machine learning fun.

Church

I’m an oblate of St. Meinrad’s Archabbey after making my final oblation on June 4, 2022.

At our parish, I am the Master of Ceremonies for the 7:30 a.m. Mass, coordinating the altar servers and assisting the elderly priests that often celebrate at that time. Vanessa and I are part of the group that coordinates the monthly coffee/donuts “Second Sunday Social” ministry. Lastly, we just started teaching a weekly class for parents of kids in sacramental preparation.

Civic Duty

On the board for Delwood Sports, the local youth sports program. Without kids playing, I’m not planning on returning to coaching quite yet, so I’m focusing on continuing with my registration, geeky stuff, and my board position on our associated 501(c)3, Friends of Delwood Sports.

I am the 2022-2024 Chair of the Travis County Solidarity Party. This is a political “third party” that is based on the Christian Demographic principles. For the non-Americans, it’s one of the small parties that aren’t Republican or Democrat, and, sadly, of little influence for now. While there is a lot of diversity within the party in terms of political beliefs, I belong to the Liberation Caucus voting block that focuses on economic liberation, racial justice, ecological sustainability, deliberative democracy, and “whole life.”

Education

Lastly, I am looking forward to finishing my MBA with the Dillard College of Business Administration at Midwestern State University in May 2024. I’m a member of Delta Sigma Pi business fraternity, the College of Business Administration’s Student Advisory Committee, and the Beta Gamma Sigma business honor society.
