I've spent a lot of time wandering around the internet. Lost. In 2022, I've decided to do better. I'm going to make effort to settle down and populate my Github account with useful content.
To manage a team of talented individuals, that will provide me with the opportunities to apply my skills, knowledge and expertise to create industry leading products.
I lead a small team of talented developers, writing software to simulate heavy equipment in the mining industry.
