Motivations, Hobbies and Interests¶
I am always interested in a challenge.
I originally wanted to create and develop video games so I moved to San Diego to work at Sony Online Entertainment, but found my real calling building cloud technologies to help my customers be better investors. It is quite rewarding working on growing a user base while creating my own real-time investment platform. I built this technology through years of learning how to design, implement and enhance distributed software systems.
Spending time with my family.
