Though I have a background (both a bachelors and masters) in history, it has not transformed me into a complete Luddite. My first professional job after my undergraduate experience was working for a web firm that designed, programmed, and maintained ecommerce website for online merchants. My second foray into technology landed me a position as a featured writer on a technology website, which introduced me to wide-ranging technologies from cloud stacks to security solutions and more. In this role, I became acquainted with a wide range of technology I’d never even imagined; additionally, I became a liaison between understanding more complex technological processes and translating them for sales managers, small business owners, and more to better understand for their own benefit. Though technology has not always been my bread and butter, working for customers and making their day easier and make more sense has always been front and center to my career.
