I have been fortunate enough in my career to contribute to a wide variety of industries and platforms. Technology is just one of many common languages that unites every organization. We all share the same challenges when it comes to calculating growth, scaling, identifying key metrics, etc.
Without a doubt, my favorite strength is being able to piece components and data together between multiple departments, languages, and protocols to develop new processes and ways of doing business.
