Troy Thompson

Driven, Ownership, Results Oriented, Customer Obsessed, Agile, Integrity

I enjoy juggling all types of items, in particular: Torches, Knives, Balls, Rings, Clubs, Scarves, you name it.

I enjoy spending time with my family.

A product I developed, called "LastQUIT", was featured by Starbucks on a TV show called "Thrive".

I've been a developer since I was 6 years old. I started on a TRS-80 Color Computer from Radio Shack. After learning BASIC, I then went on to write code in Assembly Language and Machine Language for the 6502/6510 processors (Commodore 64/128).

Yes - absolutely, I am a very team and goal focused individual and I make sure that myself and my team are on track (and more often, early) for upcoming deadlines.

I enjoy companies of all sizes, but what I really enjoy is the large company backing, but the small company feel.
