Michael Vosseller’s Summary
I am a passionate software engineer and technical manager who prides himself on delivering high quality products on schedule.
At Zeemote, Inc. I was lucky enough to become the first full time employee after the founders. I became the Director of Software and built a talented and effective software and testing team. To date we have released three well regarded commercial software products and still have several more to go.
I also have a strong interest in entrepreneurship and look forward to the day that I can start a software company to call my own.
