I am a passionate seeker of knowledge with an innate ability to identify inefficiencies, enhance existing products, and improve existing or create new process designs. As the son of a master mechanic and automobile enthusiast father, I've spent a lifetime cultivating not only the ability to understand, repair, and modify machines, but also a deep love for them. Figuring out how things work, why they were made to work that way, along with how and why they fail is second nature to me. While much of my career has centered around cars and the automotive industry, these same skills translate to nearly all other areas of life. I am a tinkerer who can fix almost anything. I also had the fortune of growing up with access to computers and have always been comfortable connecting the digital realm to the physical. This background provides me with high proficiency in two key areas: logic and analytics.In addition, I've always had a natural ability to form strong and healthy interpersonal connections with the people I meet. As the son of a very social and extroverted mother, I am a people person driven to develop communication skills across varying media. Having spent many years conducting business in global organizations, I am able to form, grow, and maintain relationships across cultures and international borders. However, I never lose sight of the people around me and am always looking to make interactions with me positive and beneficial experiences for others.This unique combination of character traits and life experience allows me to not only come up with ideas to create new or improve existing products, but also to work with teams to build them into reality. I can spot value and effectively communicate propositions to business people as well as software development teams.I'm Joe Moutard and I make things work.
