In my current position, I write software for internal and external customers. The software takes many different forms and is designed to fulfill a wide variety of needs at any given moment. Applications range from PaaS and SaaS microapps to Windows, Linux, and mobile devices. Additionally, I have been fortunate enough to write AR & VR applications for both the Microsoft Hololens and various VR devices.These applications are written in a variety of languages (e.g. C++, Java, .NET, HTML/JavaScript) across multiple operating systems (e.g. Microsoft Windows, OS X, iOS, Android, various Linux incarnations) and run on multiple platforms (e.g. PCs, tablets, smartphones). These applications also may need to use a variety of protocols (e.g. SNMP, SMTP, TL1, NetCONF, SSH, FTP, SCP, HTTP).Along with my software development and architectural design responsibilities, I also produce and emcee TEDx conferences as well as mentor and manage interns and provide my expertise across the entire company's various departments.

Responsibilities include competitive analysis, technology feasibility investigation, and product requirements definition. Also responsible for understanding the issues and defining solutions for customers that employ Fujitsu products and solutions. Responsibilities
