Dave Cliffe is a software engineer who has adopted a more peaceful role as "sherpa" on the product team at PagerDuty, a company whose sole goal is to make the lives of Dev and Ops engineers everywhere a calmer, sanity-filled reality. Before PagerDuty, Dave filled a variety of roles at Microsoft within the Azure team and also worked previously at Amazon launching its grocery business. Frequently, he wonders which is scarier: being an on-call engineer during an outage or being a parent. Current theory: parenting if (sum(ages)/n) < 3. Dave's current status: sum = 6.5, n = 3.
