Jody is a Solutions Architect at Chef Software, a Windows and Linux admin, and a theatre major-turned-technologist with a passion for languages of all kinds. She’s worked with small startups and gaming giants alike, and she now focuses on helping individuals and organizations solve their infrastructure woes by connecting the dots between infrastructure, security, and application development and deployment. When not Chefifying all the things, Jody spends her spare time learning new languages, working with dogs, and speaking publicly about mental health and inclusive cultural practices.
