Next but not least, introducing Dexter Sicarius, Co-owner of Automatrix and Lead Software Engineer. Following his time serving as a Communications Manager in the United States Army, Sicarius expanded his skills from operating communications networks to programming and software development. He is skilled in many programming languages, including C#, Java, Javascript, HTML, and CSS. Those skills were applied in the development and optimization of Automatrix’s own website and systems.
What goals do you have for Automatrix in the coming year?
“My goal is for us this year is to launch the release version of our newest software product. A lot of care and effort went into designing and building it, so I’m excited to show everyone what we’ve been working on.”
How has your communications experience (technical and interpersonal) aided you in the field of software development?
“A lot of my previous roles involved helping people communicate with each other, and I usually have a good sense for understanding what people mean, even if they’re having trouble finding the right words to say it. All software is created to help someone accomplish a goal, and having that experience helps me ask the right questions to understand not just what people need, but why they need it.”
As a audiobook enthusiast, what books have been the best experience for you?
“The Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson. In addition to being the best fantasy series I’ve ever read, those books have given me hope, inspiration, and strength, in times when I needed it the most.”
