Location:
Chicago, Illinois
Â
Employer/Profession:
Following a short stint in IT Consulting at Capgemini, I took a position as Technology Operations Engineer at Eagle Seven Trading, primarily supporting our automated low-latency trading platform. I have since been promoted to Site Reliability Engineer where I am responsible for maintaining performance of our global technology infrastructure, bridging the gap between development and operations by applying a software engineering mindset to system administration.
Â
What I remember best about Marquette:
Beating Denver in the 2016 BIG EAST Championship and carrying the trophy through the airport on the way home ... living with six of my best friends in the Mansion ... work capacity circuits with Todd Smith ... walking across the bridge to the Valley for practice as a freshman ... walking through the snow or digging cars out of the snow to get to 6 a.m. workouts ... and Joe Amplo practices, conditioning, and personal conversations.
Â
Fun Fact:
I've lived with five different former Marquette men's lacrosse players/friends from four different classes in two different houses since I graduated, the current one being KC Kennedy.
