What drives me in my work is...
Solving problems that have day-to-day impact, from improving our existing technology to helping support new business opportunities. “Software is eating the world” in FX.
I decompress by...
Getting outside by the lakefront or cooking something new. It helps me reset and get out of “work mode.”
One thing that has surprised me about my career at Mesirow is...
The opportunity for ownership. Everyone has the chance to lead initiatives and shape how we approach technology. And the chance to work with some genuinely great people.
