With over 20 years of experience in software development and the technology sector, I have witnessed first-hand how the industry has evolved from simple operating systems to complex, highly technical programming languages and data science. By continuing my professional development and growth, I have successfully adapted my skill set to these realities and continue to thrive in my career. As a co-founder of my own software firm, as well as having a history of working for industry-leading companies such as Hewlett-Packard and IBM, I have learned the essential value of collaboration, teamwork, and presentation skills. While I'm someone who can work effectively on his own, I am much more comfortable collaborating with cross-functional and interdisciplinary teams to drive the achievement of project objectives. I'm able to seamlessly communicate with both tech gurus and CEOs and everyone in between. Regardless of their knowledge of complex technical concepts, I am able to both understand and be understood when it comes to communicating project requirements, results, and business needs.
