Director of Engineering and my self-directed “personal MBA” journey, building a software consultancy. Tackling new challenges beyond engineering has been both fun and rewarding!I developed a new software platform for a specialty semiconductor fab, which had feature to support project management, resource allocation, and IP licensing and discovery. This platform’s success led to the business securing Phase 2 funding from the Department of Defense (DoD) through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.

Such a great work environment. People, work and office environment were all terrific. We had a ton of fun. Custom CMS - tech lead on a custom CMS tool to manage sports data. Sort of a CRM for sports players and rosters. Campus Insiders - Doing for College Sports what MLB.tv did for baseball. We were the place to go to watch college sports that don't get national TV coverage. You could come and watch rowing, lacrosse, field hockey and more. Rewrote from PHP Silex to Ruby on Rails. Cloudfront CDN, SOLR for full-text search, HAProxy L7 routing to let us do phased deployments. Eventually we did a visual redesign, which needed to have themes per College Conference. Great to work with designers, product owners and other stake holders on this one.Culture Squad - There were a bunch of smart people at SC, I put together a team to work on culture impact at SL. The pancake breakfast every few weeks for the team to relax and get to know one-another was really memorable and unique. On the brainstorming sessions, I learned a lot: You need to have a plan/target/goal when creating brainstorm groups, it's not enough to just throw people in a room with a blank slate, you have to provide constraints/problem to confine and also encourage and guide the creative session.
