Employee Reviews

"As a child I received my first computer and have been hooked ever since. When I sit down to create a piece of software I don't see it as work but as a way to be creative and create something that can make a task easier or more streamlined for a customer. Software development allows me to utilize my analytical skills to not only create something that fulfills a need but to find where a problem occurred when a bug occurs in an application."
