Development Manager/Lead Engineer, Microhedge
Wayne, Pa, Us
I cut my teeth at MicroHedge/SunGard, and my experiences there would shape my career for many years.When I started at MicroHedge, I was bright-green rookie programmer with little more than smarts, ambition and a drive to write code. I learned quickly, absorbing everything I could find from those around me, from books and school, and other programmers.By the time MicroHedge was bought by SunGard, I was already a team leader working on large swaths of code in every area of the system.Before long I moved up to Development Manager, where I spearheaded the entire development group for our main product. I was also a mentor to newbie programmers not unlike myself just a few short years back, the go-to for production issues, and the lead engineer.During this period, I also wrote and published several articles in C/C++ User's Journal and Dr. Dobb's. I haven't stopped learning.
