I am a software engineer specializing in web/cloud and continuous integration technologies.
There are always ways to improve a process or workflow through automation, and this is what I love about programming. Constantly looking for ways to increase efficiency/simplicity, tackling a business problem via code, or learning a new technology provides a challenge that I find quite enjoyable.
Oh, and in case you're wondering if cloud computing is here to stay, the answer is yes. Go Azure!
