Profile Information
- How did you hear about Codetown?
- From an instant message from Mike Levin
- What are your main interests in software development?
- My interests are in businesses that are using technology like mobile applications in innovative ways. My background is in design and marketing, but over the last ten years, I have been mostly studying trading financial markets. The company I work for TheNewswire.com is a press release distributor in Canada, but it is moving into investor relations and is looking for ways to better use software development to promote client companies.
- Do you have a website?
- http://www.thenewswire.com
- Anything else you'd like to add? Where do you live? (optional!)
- I currently live in Orlando Florida but preparing to rejoin my family in Japan once the travel ban is lifted.
Happy 10th year, JCertif!
