About
I’m a software engineer with over 30 years in the field, the last 20 of them in financial services technology and the last 10 focused on AWS. I’m currently a Principal Consultant at Vertical Relevance, an AWS-focused consulting firm. Before that I co-founded and was CTO of CoinLion, a crypto-trading startup out of Sioux Falls, South Dakota (2017-2018 era). I’m based in Sioux Falls.
I spent a good chunk of the 2000s and early 2010s as a Drupal contributor — maintaining a handful of modules (Views Simple Spy, Acronyms, Feedme XML, AMQP, Bootstrap - Combined) and making the rounds at DrupalCampLA 2008, DrupalCon DC 2009, and DrupalCon Denver 2012. I’ve used the GitHub handle dellintosh since 2010.
The arc, roughly:
- Drupal / PHP (2008-2013)
- Python / Flask web (2013-2016)
- CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes (2016-2021)
- AWS financial-services consulting (2021-present)
- AI agents and self-hosted infrastructure (2024-present)
