About Vince Swartout

v••••••••@outlook.com - 24••••••33I’ve spent the majority of my 18+ years developing software. I’ve been fortunate to have architected, developed, and implemented many solutions and to have lead software teams through the technology changes of the last 18 years. I’m passionate about people and especially interested in how their processes are implemented with technology. I’ve focused heavily on process improvement as a mechanism to help this. Finding the right fit between the people, the process, and the technology is something that I do very well. I excel in fast changing, entrepreneurial environments. I am very self-motivated, taking responsibility for my teams’ and my own results.
