Software Engineer @ Groundswell Technologies in Santa Barbara, CA
"I like the fact that there are always new things to learn about technology and that keeps my brain engaged. It's kind of like solving a puzzle and it is satisfying to create something that can help people in their work.I hate it when sometimes I work all day on a problem and sometimes it feels like you aren't getting anything done."

Software Engineer @ Schaefer Systems Int'l in Windsor, CT
"I love wrapping my head around a really interesting problem. Really. For every hellish day when the system goes haywire and it's all damage control, there're 3 great ones where you've got time to investigate and research a problem properly. It's during those days when I love my work. Dislike Users, like all humans can be irrational and can need more hand holding than I'd like to provide sometimes."
