X9 Technologies

• Head Geek

  • May 2013 - Jul 2014

  A more technical title is CMO / Lead Developer. This position is really a cumulation of my talents and my maker mentality.I got to handle cutting edge marketing promotions, manage advanced applications development, and prototype new robotic systems for my clients which included the likes of Disney and Verizon. X9 Technologies is a startup with a long history in the piedmont area offering to turn any idea into a reality. Bottom line is that I get to play with things like 3D Printers and LaserCutters while still developing applications. See Adam Savage for an example ;)
