I've been blessed to work in the tech industry for the last 30 years. I've served in nearly every role connected with the development and production of software products and services. I made a couple of tables below that sum up the breadth of my experience.

Why should you care? Well the guidance and mentorship I offer is based on real-world experience: hands-on coding, testing, writing, presenting, report-writing, you name it. I can truly empathize with you. I want to help you strategize on your professional growth, career, and your leadership of others in this space.
