Background

About Tyler Durham

22 years ago, I was almost on my way to Law School. I purchased my first computer my junior year of college to assist writing term papers, and inadvertently launched myself into one of the most exciting industries unleashed on the planet. I was whisked away from the hills of East Tennessee and began a 20+ year journey that had me developing, designing, and architecting some very interesting, large-scale enterprise systems. Along the way, I worked with fantastic people from around the world, lead global teams, and advised business and technology decision makers across several industries, including high tech, manufacturing, health & life sciences, insurance, oil and gas, and finance. I’d do anything to get out of taking the LSAT. Currently, I am a Cloud Technology Specialist working for Microsoft in Nashville, TN. The Cloud has the potential to be the single most disruptive force in computing today, but many companies are entrenched behind a “pre-cloud” mindset that will make it difficult for them to understand and harness the Cloud’s unique benefits. My role as a Cloud Specialist is to understand your concerns, help you understand a myriad of topics (security, compliance, governance, identity, etc.) and help you map a path to quickly realizing the Cloud’s value. Born in Jackson, raised in Cleveland, schooled in Chattanooga, and currently living in Nashville, I thrive off the natural beauty and energy of the Volunteer State – Tennessee is a great place to work and raise a family. In my spare time, I volunteer in both technical and charitable organizations, play guitar (who in Nashville DOESN’T?), dabble in open source software, and lament over the current state of Tennessee football (collegiate and pro).
