I'm a former CTO with 3 exits. I've developed software for start-ups, mid sized and Fortune 500 companies. Most recently, I was a co-founder and CTO at UserEvents Inc. where I grew, attracted and lead a technical team from inception to acquisition. I craft software that solves real world business problems.
How I can help?
Early stage ventures
I'm an entrepreneur and enjoying collaborating with like minded people. I know and understand what it takes to build a business from scratch. I've been in the startup trenches and know what it takes to succeed.
I can help you form a solid technological foundation on which you can build a business on. Leverage my experience so you can hit the ground running.
Bespoke software
I will work with you to tailor software to fit your business whether it’s maintaining an old code base or programming a greenfield project.

I generally agree with that statement but I wasn't making any presumptions only stating my observations. College is not critical to developing higher critical thinking but it certainly doesn't hurt.
In my experience there is no direct correlation between a developer being good or bad based on whether they had a degree or not. However, what I did find was that someone who had completed their undergrad is generally capable of thinking at a higher level and can work through harder problems. IMHO, a University shouldn't be about training students to go into the workforce but to teach them how to effectively think and solve problems, regardless of discipline.
Former CTO with 3 exits. I specialize in building high performance, highly available, distributed systems on the JVM.
