Darryl ChallengerSoftware Engineer

Building software is my passion! Even as a child, I was fascinated by the process of putting things together – I could watch construction sites for hours. Now my attention has moved from construction sites to web sites.
I design, develop, lead, manage, and build technology projects that improve efficiency, saving time and money. I thrive on transforming ideas into fully realized solutions by decomposing them into the key concepts and authoring the components.
As an experienced coder, manager, architect, database designer, and all-around systems engineer, I have managed development teams and spearheaded larger engagements. In 2018, I formed Challenger Technology Solutions where I build platforms for businesses of all sizes. I am always seeking opportunities to meet new clients who need help with technology. I am also soliciting openings to join a development team where I can bring my skills, insights, and positivity to the organization.
Collaboration is at the heart of my work. A team working together to reach an objective can be like running a gauntlet: there will be demanding work, pain, missteps, and laughter, culminating with success. Throughout my career, I have built lasting relationships with colleagues which have endured for years and will continue to do so.
My expertise spans a wide range of systems, from databases to compilers, custom service-based architectures to security, and Public Finance Rating Reporting to Wealth Management CRM. I am eager to hear from hiring managers to help solve technology and business problems.
