About

Active leader in the Pittsburgh SW development community. I have worked for large and small businesses in the fields of SW development, project management, engineering management, business development, and process improvement. My software experience resides over all aspects and types of software engineering including embedded systems, PC systems, web applications, and mobile applications. I have focused much of my career on implementing software engineering best practices and processes in highly regulated industries, developing leaders within the organizations, growing and developing great teams, and bettering our technical communities by supporting co-op and internship programs from various educational institutions. All of my work today at IQ Inc. continues to support and build my passion for software engineering and developing great organizations.
