I got the chance to present at AWS Summit in NYC on 7/12! I’ve had several people ask me what the speech was about so I thought I’d throw together a few blog posts that walk through the talk. I’m going to break it up in to three posts: Part 1: My CIO Doesn’t Do […]

Summit Talk Part 1: My CIO Doesn’t Do Enough Cloud
I got the chance to present at AWS Summit in NYC on 7/12! I’ve had several people ask me what the speech was about so I thought I’d throw together a few blog posts that walk through the talk. I’m going to break it up in to three posts: Part 1: My CIO Doesn’t Do […]
The Next Phase of the Cloud Revolution
5-7 years ago it seemed obvious that most companies were going to perform huge transformations that included moving most of their applications and data moving to the cloud. The percentage of workloads and data in the cloud was increasing by 5-10 percent per year. However, in 2020 we started to see that slow down before […]
The Toughest CTO Decision in 2022
For an organization with more than a handful of development teams, the hardest decision in technology right now is to decide where the cutoff between your platform teams and your software teams should be. As with most things in the world today there are loud people making loud claims on both side of the debate […]
Dev Teams are Blocking Infrastructure
I recently took the job within Kyndryl of helping to establish and expand our Application and Data Consulting Practice. Kyndryl is known as an infrastructure company, there’s no way around that and I got lots of questions about why anyone would want to run the software portion of a company so focused on infrastructure. The […]
Machine Learning Holiday Project Part III: Using the Model to Predict Games
In this post I’ll cover creating the actual machine learning model to predict bets and how it worked for the fist slate of games. If you haven’t read the background on this project, I’d point you back to my first post in this series where I described the point of the holiday project. Creating the […]
Machine Learning Holiday Project Part II: Loading the Data

That discussion is usually about finding good data, but I can tell you that it’s also a bit tricky to get data that you have access to organized enough for ML algorithms to […]
Machine Learning Holiday Project Part I: Overview
Why do a Big Data Project over the Holiday? In 2021 the machine learning market was a little over $15B. That is projected to increase 10x between now and 2028. It’s the fastest growing area of technology (think mobile 10 years ago) and therefor it is top of mind for my clients. In addition, the […]
Clever Idea: Serverless, Cloud Native CI/CD
If you’ve met me for more than a few minutes you’ve heard me talk about my passion project, Leave the House Out of It (lthoi.com). If you’ve really paid attention to my blog posts you’ve caught that a couple years ago I rearchitected the app to move to an event-based, serverless architecture on AWS. After a year of not doing very much with the project I’ve had the itch to make some upgrades. Before I did, I wanted to upgrade the CI/CD pipeline I use to manage the code.
