**government contractor** · Lead Developer

for ~1 year in early 2010s

## What I did

- Built and managed a separate department: developers, sysops, QA and even one tech writer
- Led development of an integrated system for interaction between citizens and city services / utilities
- Payment processing, emergency handling, and compliance and regulation control across a whole bunch of small departments, companies, vendors, etc.

## What I achieved

- Despite all the efforts of the government customers, we successfully delivered it, and as far as I know, it still works
- Got promoted to CTO

## What I learned

- The only thing less efficient than a typical municipality is the same municipality at night
