 What is the pop in your job? What drives you? What is your passion?
 Pop: Seeing clients integrate their technology into their solutions to enable their business and exceed beyond their expectations. I have had the opportunity to see a few of our clients do this. They were able to infuse IoT technology into their business. The results of this have made the stand outs in their industry.
Drive: It’s an amazing time to be in the IoT industry. Along with staying up with all the latest technology trends in our business and sharing this with our customers, we get to see how our customers are going to use this technology to enable new product offerings, differentiate their existing product lines or streamline their business processes.  It’s amazing to see the business plans our clients have put together and gratifying to see their success.
Passion: IoT technology has been my hobby before the industry started calling this IoT. I used to call it the ultimate “remote control” since I could monitor and control things reaching way beyond the traditional TV remote. I have built many projects on in my spare time to enable command and control of my personal items just because I could. It’s great to see this same type of technology being put to use to solve real business problems.
