I have spent more than 7+ years of my life in the software industry, helping large companies, utilize software to become more efficient, automate redundant jobs and manage their business. What could be more gratifying than lifting my expertise, experience & moving it to a completely different domain that I find exhilarating, full of color with passionate and delightful people, and super important to the way we live our lives?
