Jim Meyer’s Summary

My top five requirements for an interesting work life:

1. Challenging problems to solve
2. The opportunity to actively mentor a team
3. Active mentorship for myself
4. Participation in strategic planning
5. Participation in operational execution

My four core values:

Passion: Find your spark and fan the flames!
Integrity: Be yourself in everything you do.
Respect: Everyone can teach you something. Learn it.
Candor: An open mind requires open communication.

I've been a technologist for nearly thirty years (since my early teens). In that time, I've worked with everything from soldering irons to software (in nearly every major language). I have a considerable body of experience with large-scale production systems, distributed computing, workflow automation, process and systems design, and software architecture.

I'm also an accomplished project manager, technical lead, and manager of technical staff. I deeply enjoy the challenges in leadership and management; I find especially interesting helping people identify and hone their strengths while aligning them with the company's goals. In short, I like growing and fostering effective people.
