IT DIRECTOR · FOUNDER · CISSP
Bowling Green, Ohio · [email protected] · linkedin.com/in/robertwwhitten
IT director and founder with 20+ years across enterprise IT, cybersecurity, and software development. I run the IT operation at American Interiors by day and build SaaS products through Daedalus Workbench by night. The person who designs the architecture should be the person who writes the code, and the person who writes the code should be the person who ships it.
