About Me
Background
I have been in the technology for over 12+ years working with established enterprise software companies and early stage startup. Currently, I am working in technical sales within the Oracle Marketing Cloud solution. I have always been in technology, but haven't worked with a programming language in a long, long time. I am taking Dev Bootcamp to quickly learn how to program and work on developing a couple of ideas. I am looking to build my network and meet and learn from like-minded individuals that have a passion for programming.
