Eli Daccach, P. Eng, MBA

Christine is a perfectionist who gets the job done! I had the pleasure to work with her on a big web software development project. She has a specific talent of taking business objectives and transforming them into technical requirements. You tell her a story, and she comes back with a user friendly design, technical tasks sorted by priority, and a way to test/detect software bugs. The project could never have been completed without her. A One-Woman show!
