Seth is a productivity aficionado who loves his work in software development and process automation design (think The Elastic Stack and The Chef Infrastructure Suite). His career started in Hollywood visual effects, creating simulation based animation; then transitioned into developing software to manage cross-location data set replication, distributed data processing, and infrastructure orchestration. Seth also spent many years considering the finer points of database design and workflow methodologies. These days, he prefers to direct his algorithmic thinking towards custom Cloud automation by way of implementing Python APIs, writing Chef Cookbooks, and designing application provisioning pipelines.
