Career

1991 — 1998 · Health Insurance

Prudential HealthCare

Systems Analyst, Developer, Health Claims Processor

Prudential was my first full time job and a great way to kick off my career. I'm extremely thankful for the opportunities I was provided during my time there. Having a hand in building the system I got to work on for several years as a teenager was extremely inspiring and eye opening. The timing was perfect as I got to see the very beginning enterprise web development from the inside, and they provided me all the training I needed to begin a long career doing the type of work I wanted to do since I was a kid.
