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, Respect, Integrity, and Candor.

I've been a technologist for thirty years. 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 leader, manager of technical staff, and technical strategist. 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.
