It’s been a fascinating opportunity to rebuild an engineering organization from the inside, and I’m loving every minute.

I was working for a big company that had a strong vibrant engineering culture. Once we knew what we needed to do, we’d craft the code and test it in our environments. They took the code, configured it as they needed to, set it up on their test networks, and beat it mercilessly. We were doing very complex, low-level work.
