Hello all! My first blog post for Oregon State and my first blog post period! My name is James, but I go by Brennan. I am in my senior year at Oregon State working towards a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. I currently work as a Solutions Engineer at a SaaS company. While this sounds like a made up silicon valley term (because it is) it really is pretty simple. I work with our sales team, creating technical demos and answering technical questions that our prospective customers have. I work with our enterprise product, our highest offering, which is purchased mostly by entrepreneurs, small and large businesses.
I thoroughly enjoy what I do, but ultimately I would like to work in Product or Program Management in the tech space. I thoroughly enjoy creating software, but throughout my studies and work experience, I’ve found much more enjoyment in managing projects and creating the bigger picture. After Oregon State, I am going to continue on to get my MBA to hopefully contribute to my future success in management positions.
