At a time when employees drove 30 minutes to the local electronics store to buy software and then submit expense reports, a single click to purchase and install software was incredibly cool and revolutionary.Experience Building Solutions:• 42 Years of Programming (C/C++, C#, Python, JavaScript, and many more.)• 24 Years of Globalization, Internationalization, Localization, Translation (GILT)• 9 Years of Artificial Intelligence (Training Machine Translation Models, LLM\'s, Prompt Engineering.)• IT Architecture and Integrations (Security, SLA\'s, ServiceNow, Technical Working Groups, MuleSoft, Bizzdesign.)• Content Management Systems (Adobe Experience Manager, Salesforce.)• Data (SQL, MongoDB, Power BI, Analytics.)• Cloud and DevOps (Azure, Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry, GitHub, GitLab, TeamCity, TFS.)
