I’m Scott Schecter, president of Schecter & Co.
I’m a polyglot programmer and systems administrator. I prefer open source software that the owner can freely modify and believe proprietary software should be avoided if at all possible. I also believe simplicity is the ultimate sophistication and the wheel in the sky keeps on turning.
I have been bringing high quality custom software solutions to market for customers in the governmental and private sectors for over ten years.
When not working, I enjoy reading, listening to music, cycling, and general tomfoolery.
I have a proven track record of delivering high quality applications and services on time and on budget while working with geographically distributed teams. I also have excellent written and verbal communication skills. This ensures all project stakeholders always have accurate and timely information with which to make informed decisions. It also makes certain there are no unexpected surprises with project delivery.
In both the private and governmental sectors, I have created applications of all sizes. From large scale enterprise desktop applications with domain wide deployment to single page real time web applications. This breadth of experience gives me broad vision to help you define your application requirements accurately. This ensures all work performed meets your critical business needs.
I have worked with all of the most popular operating systems as well as the web and database management servers that run the applications on them. I know the intricacies involved with keeping them healthy and secure. I make certain your servers and applications are harmonious in their union. With these managed services you can decrease your overall information systems management costs thereby increasing profits for your business.
