Justin Burdett’s Summary
I'm a recent graduate of the Pennsylvania State University. I graduated in 3.5 years after studying information sciences and technology and picking up two minors in business and entrepreneurship. I currently work at KIT Solutions in Pittsburgh as a project manager.
Now that I have a strong background in both technology and business, I'd like to next study a third discipline: the user. In March 2009, I was admitted to Carnegie Mellon's Masters in Human-Computer Interaction program and expect to enroll in the fall of 2010.
