Jon Thysell’s Summary
I write software to model business systems and processes, analyze the collected or generated data, and finally present actionable recommendations in order to optimize operations.
My short-term career goals are to increase the number of development technologies that I am comfortable with, and to deal with more clients on the business end.
My long term goals is to act as the interface between business and engineering, as either a Presales Engineer or Business IT Integration Consultant with a focus on simulation software.
