What have I done?
My career
My career started in a CAD specialization shop doing customization for manufacturing companies. From there, I went
on to working at a local hospital where I provided reporting and application development. After the hospital, I
went to work for a Fortune 15 software vendor in the healthcare field. While there, I contributed to JCAHO & CMS
regulation changes, wrote a Decision Support System, managed an offshore group of developers, upgraded all reporting
integration methods, and wrote numerous custom apps/reports for clients. After
that, I wanted out of the large coporate environment. So, I started comuting to an
Inc. 500 Fastest Growing software company in the insurance industry. While there I worked on their web application
and database. However, losing 2 hours a day commuting was just too unproductive. Currently, I
am employed fulltime at a heavy duty trucking software vendor, where I provide software development and database
administration expertise.
My business
I started my business, Hutson Software, LLC, in the spring of 2007. I wanted to have a way to release from the daily grind of
a job and create applications that I felt would be beneficial. I started by creating a utility application to do a side-by-side
comparison of Crystal Report files. After that, I wrote a data layer code generation tool to help me create my data access layer
of code. Last year, I got my first client when my wife opened a hair salon. She asked me to create a website for her
business. With the success of the website, she asked for a program to track all of her client info, finances, and scheduling.
Since then, I have had a couple of clients come to me for various solutions. So the future is bright for Hutson Software, LLC.
