What are some of your proudest achievements from the past year? One of my proudest achievements includes helping our team assist a key client perform technical due diligence and testing on a 48-hour turnaround in order to vet technical aspects of a major acquisition. In terms of proud moments coding, I was able (after a considerable time investment) to implement, in code, an algorithm I created for identifying “redirect chains” in network traffic, and then combine that with a pattern-matching function so that patterns of data, or specific pieces of data, could be traced along an identified chain.  We are using this to deploy our CCPA opt-out of sale validation test.

What, if any, obstacles stood in the way of your innovation, and how did you overcome them? The most significant obstacle was stretching well beyond my comfort zone in an attempt to gain additional technical skills and insights. There is no substitute, however, for that particular journey, when it comes to the payoff in knowledge and ability. From one standpoint, it’s an obstacle, but from another, it’s simply an investment—and perhaps the most important one. The other obstacle is the shortage of time. Doing some things necessarily means not doing others, and one must aggressively prioritize development and expansion of skills.
