  • Aug 2001 - May 2005

  B2Gsource was an Austin-based start-up. Working at a start-up located in the Austin Technology Incubator, my duties included everything from quality assurance and customer/technical support, to data entry and even outside-sales. While at B2Gsource I learned to quickly and efficiently use Google to find government bidding information from state and local agencies, a skill that is I still leverage when looking for code documentation or debugging errors.
