Shawn started out in the video game industry over 20 years ago but found developing scalable architectures and teams to be far more fun. Today he's a Windows practice lead at Pivotal and is equally comfortable working with platform operators and developers. Prior to joining Pivotal Shawn became a Vagrant contributor and added Windows guest support to Vagrant and Packer. When he's not working with tech, he likes to spend his time riding motorcycles, volunteering, watching football, and discovering good beer.
