Hello from Michigan!

Hi everyone!  I'm Valerie, a Principal Technologist here are Pure Storage, and I have many more years in the tech industry than I care to admit, including stints at Google, Dell, and EMC.  I focus on AI/HPC, automotive, and (of course) cloud while I'm at work; personally, I am married with twin teen boys, and a sassy fur baby.  I enjoy gaming (I met my husband while playing D&D in college), walking with my dog, baking, and playing ukulele moderately badly.  

I'm happy to be here, and look forward to interacting with everyone in the community!
