Hello,
While I’m happy to tell you everything I like about me, I prefer to let my past speak for itself. See recommendations below, but in case you’re in a hurry... In short, I’m an engineer at heart and love solving problems, and so, I have created a few companies, consulted to many, and always leave a place better than I found it. I have experience as a Founder/CTO, Enterprise Architect, Technical Director, ML/Ai and Fullstack developer. I’m happiest creating simple solutions to complex problems. I am educated as an Electrical/Computer Engineer, Software Architect and XP/Agile Leader. I consistently deliver early and under budget. I am proud of high performance, innovation, and technical leadership in diverse industries. I believe collaboration fosters innovation. I have a passion for simplicity. I see opportunities where others only see problems. I am also a trained facilitator, coach, and trainer. I have worked directly with executive management of several Fortune 100 companies on billion dollar projects including Microsoft, Sun, Active Network, HealthGrades, Qwest, EchoStar, Parsons Engineering and the state governments of Colorado, Florida and Wyoming. I am the author of 9 US Patents in the oil and medical device industries and am proud to have helped save millions of lives and billions of gallons of oil. Please enjoy the following reviews…

Chad Steele BSEE, MESE Simple Solutions
to Complex Problems
****@**********.***
As the project manager on this very complex and demanding project, I hired Chad as our
.NET Enterprise Architect. Chad proved himself to be an exemplary team member that contributed much more than was originally envisioned when I hired him. With multi-billions of dollars of royalties, grants, loans, land management, school funding trusts, and minerals on the line, Chad jumped in and was able to bring order and sensibility out of the chaos that he found in the existing legacy systems. Chad was always highly motivated to do the best possible work and he fit in as the perfect team member in a highly charged atmosphere.
I characterize Chad as the kind of leader that I always prefer to work with. Chad is creative, points out issues with a minimum of feathers getting ruffled, and generates solutions that are simple, elegant, and certainly practical in nature. Just as importantly, Chad brings calm into the situation and a sure and steady leadership approach that takes all the elements into consideration and that also goes far beyond the technology. If you are looking for leadership in technology, then I would suggest that Chad is your man. If you are also looking for a technology leader that also has excellent people skills, is extraordinarily reliable, and is able to work effectively in any culture and deliver results on time and within budget, then I would strongly suggest that you will be hard pressed to do any better than hiring Chad Steele. I am happy to recommend Chad with absolutely no reservations.
If you would like to have a more detailed and in depth discussion, please call me at 303-***-****.
