Hey! I am Tiffany and I am a CNCF Ambassador, technology advocate, technical content creator, and community enabler in the Cloud Native space. I most recently was a senior developer advocate at VMware. I was previously a software developer and developer advocate at Amazon, Docker, and Intel. I started off by graduating from Georgia Tech in electrical engineering.
In my free time, I like to travel and dabble in photography (I took this photo of me). You can find me on Twitter @tiffanyfayj and everywhere else via Linktree.
