One of the biggest challenges I face daily is how to build and architect cost effective technical solutions to improve our business processes. While we have no shortage of ideas for processes we can enhance, we are very constrained on capital to invest. With all that said, we still have to operate and improve our [...]

Despite some of the challenges that parenting brings with a newborn, it is way underrated. Waking up in the morning is amazing just to pick him up out of [...]
