I've had the pleasure of working for Couto Solutions, an awesome local web development company, for several years now. Although my background is in telecommunications, the company decided to hire me anyway back in 2007. Ok, it really helped that I was already married to the company's founder Justin Couto. My role here at the company is not in development or design but in administration and customer relations. I also make sure the gang knows when it's time for lunch. It's surprising how programmers lose all track of time and basic human drives like hunger when they're coding. Seriously.
I've been fortunate to be able to call the Central Coast home for over a decade now. With the fantastic views, the great energy of the people and the many wonderful friends I've made here, I plan on being here for many decades to come.
