I have a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology. I have been a software developer for about 8 years now. I also had a small stint at teaching while I was on sabbatical after my son was born.

What are you doing at Tacton?
At Tacton, I’m a software developer who deals with many parts of the software development process. Just to describe a few:

1.  Talk to clients to get what their software needs are. This happens by understanding their business and finding a technical solution for it.
2. Designing the solution
3. Implementing the solution
4. Testing the solution

In this process, there are enormous opportunities to learn more about the business processes of our clients and let technology help them achieve their goals.
