What's your story?
What's your story?
My story is a simple one. I grew up in a small town north of Syracuse, NY and ended up staying in the area because of my roots. Central New York is a beautiful place, and I always consider it to be my true home. For the past decade I have worked for local businesses, and multi-national corporations, which has provided me a well-rounded experience when implementing different business requirements.
Okay, now for some history...
I began my journey in the world of Software Development in Morrisville, NY. I attended Morrisville State College where I received my Associate's degree in Applied Science (A.A.S) majoring in Computer Information Systems. After achieving my 2 year degree, I stayed at Morrisville and earned my Bachelor's degree in Application Development. During my junior and senior years at Morrisville, I was a member of the Morrisville State College Entrepreneurial Institute (MSCEI) where I handled real-world projects and interacted with small-to-mid sized businesses to meet their custom application development needs. During my tenure at MSCEI I also served as the Project Director, mentoring the other development students and managing the projects that we accepted from various businesses around the area.
During my senior year, I began working while going to school as a Programmer for a small business in Ithaca, NY. I then moved on to an IT consulting company in Syracuse, NY as part of my required semester-long internship. After I finished my Bachelor's degree in 2008, I stayed out of academia until 2010 where I enrolled in the iSchool at Syracuse University. The Master's degree program at SU was enlightening and I found it to be a truly beneficial experience to further my skillset in the industry.
Over the years I've worked for companies that were in the following industries:
Information Technology Services / Consulting
Energy Conservation / Efficiency Consulting
Telecommunications
Health Insurance
Electronics / Computer Hardware Manufacturing
Banking
