Jonathan Baier is an emerging technology leader living in Brooklyn, New York. He has had a passion for technology since an early age. When he was 14 years old, he was so interested in the family computer (an IBM PCjr) that he pored over the several hundred pages of BASIC and DOS manuals. Then, he taught himself to code a very poorly-written version of Tic-Tac-Toe. During his teen years, he started a computer support business. Since then, he has dabbled in entrepreneurship several times throughout his life. He currently enjoys working for Moody's as Vice President of Global Cloud Engineering. He has over a decade of experience delivering technology strategies and solutions for both public and private sector businesses of all sizes. He has a breadth of experience working with a wide variety of technologies and he enjoys helping organizations and management embrace new technology to transform their businesses. Working in the areas of architecture, containerization, and cloud security, he has created strategic roadmaps to guide and help mature the overall IT capabilities of various enterprises. Furthermore, he has helped organizations of various sizes build and implement their cloud strategy and solve the many challenges that arise when "designs on paper" meet reality.
