Looking after a toddler (and a 5 yr old) is hard work, and it’s common to hear that you have no time for anything. I’m fortunate in that I’m finding I do have time, it’s just unpredictable and comes in very short stints but there is time there.
I’m working in a much reduced Solutions Architecture team with Tanzu at Broadcom. My current focus is on ensuring development teams deploying applications on Cloud Foundry are having the best experience they can. The role is equal parts education consultative, and technical.
