From a young age, growing up in Nebraska, Dylan found himself drawn to the intricate world of computers. He tinkered with everything digital, from building websites in middle school to exploring the then-emerging world of cloud computing, which he recognized early on as a transformative force in technology. While he pursued computer science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, financial circumstances led him to take a different path, accepting a full-time position at Digitech Systems. This leap of faith proved pivotal, launching a journey where he rapidly progressed from software support to a skilled software engineer, building expertise in TypeScript, C#, and cloud technologies like AWS. He further honed his leadership and collaboration skills at the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration, leading teams, mentoring junior developers, and navigating the complexities of government projects. This diverse experience laid the groundwork for his current role as a Cloud Applications Engineer at Cloudforce. Now, he’s contributing his expertise to nebulaONE®, a cutting-edge generative AI platform designed to empower everyone with the secure and controlled deployment of AI within their own Azure environments.

Outside the demands of his professional life, Dylan actively seeks opportunities for personal growth and exploration. A strong believer in continuous learning, he dedicates time to expanding his technical skillset, often delving into new programming languages and frameworks. He also finds solace and inspiration in nature, frequently embarking on hiking and camping adventures, and enjoys immersing himself in the world of video games and live music.
