Problem Solving

 Coding is basically writing a list of instructions for a computer to follow. When things don’t work, I have to work through the instruction list line by line to solve the problem. 

Independence

While I do work with my customers to understand their needs, most of my actual work is done by myself behind a computer. This is a good job if you like to work independently behind a desk.

Creativity & Innovation

The agriculture industry is always changing and advancing- I need to be able to develop big ideas through software to help the industry continue to innovate.
