Skills & Values



I am effective at establishing confidence in my companies’ technology and vision. I have a strong aptitude for technical pre-sales for large system software. I am good at communicating the value of a large software product to a customer, and can “think on my feet”, genuinely discovering how the product can be customized to fit the customer’s needs.

The role I love best is that of an Inventor, creating new products and businesses. I have a particularly strong ability to find novel ways of solving large technical problems. I enjoy successfully integrating systems that were not designed to work together and making the best engineering use of limited resources.

I am forthright in my business dealings, disciplined, responsible, and easy to work with. I make decisions quickly. I deliver on my commitments when possible.

Damien Stolarz’s Specialties:

I have expertise in a wide variety of Internet, wireless, and network technologies, including in-car computing, telematics, WiFi/3G wireless, peer-to-peer technology, and streaming media. I have years of experience supervising cross-platform development, encompassing all phases of the product development process.. I have an excellent capability for seeing the “big picture”, and have excellent technical communication skills. I am a skilled writer. I have an excellent hardware background.
