feature[23] was founded on the belief that today's most relevant and valuable companies are building proprietary software products to transform business performance.Unfortunately, software is shrouded in confusion, viewed as a cost center, and punished with inadequate funding. We think that is a solid plan for failure.Leading brands are competing in the new Industrial Revolution – The Software Economy – and know they will live or die by their digital adoption. Companies mature in software-enabled digital transformation are outperforming, making more money, and are more profitable than their market peers.We call them "Digital Leaders" – proactively transforming their business models and leading their segments through the frenetic pace of digital – web, social, mobile, big data, analytics, cloud, desktop, and the Internet of Everything. feature[23] is the partner for intentional Digital Leaders.

We invested in, and helped bring to market, 5 web-based technology start up companies. This gave feature[23] the real-world experience on how to best structure our open innovation culture and focus continuous improvement in business value throughput for our clients and partners.✭ ProfileGorilla - www.profilegorilla.com✭ Restroom Alert - www.restroomalert.com✭ Stocktagon - www.stocktagon.com✭ Nerdular - www.nerdular.com✭ Redeploy.Me View more information and progress here: https://angel.co/the-factory-1

I was hired at CEVA as a consultant working on one of their core middleware applications. In my time there, I helped implement new a SDLC that matched the internal process at CEVA, which was later adopted by several additional teams, and introduced some new architectural concepts that have since gone to production.

I came into this position as a contractor and was later hired on as a team lead for the supplemental insurance processing system. Over the course of one year, I helped re-architect the application from a singleton FIFO application, to a message based clusterable system.
