To the tune of Skee-Lo's 'I Wish'
♫ I wish I was a Kubernetes baller, I wish I could install her, I wish I had a kube-api I would call her
I wish I had an app that was fast, and don’t crash, and whose footprint is smaller ♫

I’ve been laid off from VMware.
While bittersweet, I’m wildly grateful for the past 3 years—growing from my first-ever talk to a KubeCon NA keynote, and creating ⚡️Enlightning & You Choose.
Immense love to my team, manager, and the cloud native community!
( ^◡^)っ ♡
Thank you for the support after my recent layoff. ♥
Did you know I was a restaurant server in 2019? If you want to hear more of my story, DevOps Days Austin just published a video of my autobiographical keynote.
Sharing it feels vulnerable!
Here begins a fun thread of the finished lightboards that we make together during the ϟ Enlightning stream. ♫
Also- a big THANK YOU to all who come out to watch ϟ Enlightning, and also to those who take the time to watch the recording. I appreciate you.
@VMwareTanzu
It’s not even 6:30am here and already I have received a small mountain of birthday wishes ♫
Y’all make me feel loved and supported… I couldn’t ask for better friends and community! My heart is bursting with gratitude ♥

I am trying to show more of myself here. So far this seems to be taking the form of posting selfies with people who make me happy. This makes sense. I love my friends, plus I like habit, & patterns, & I am a very visual person.
