My Journey: From Military Service to Tech

When I founded Desoto Bits & Bytes in 2022, I brought with me the core values that were ingrained during my military service. As an Air Traffic Controller deployed to Baghdad and Iskandariyah, I learned that excellence isn't just a goal – it's a standard. Every day, I was responsible for the safety of countless lives, and that level of precision and accountability is exactly what I bring to every project we undertake.

In the military, we lived by the principle of "exceeding the standard." It wasn't enough to just meet requirements; we always pushed beyond what was expected. That's exactly how I approach software development today. When you work with us, you're not just getting a service provider – you're getting a partner who will go above and beyond to ensure your success. Every line of code, every feature, every interaction is handled with the same level of dedication that was required in the control tower.

What truly sets us apart isn't just our technical expertise – it's our commitment to building lasting relationships. In the military, we understood that trust and reliability were everything. Today, I apply that same philosophy to our client relationships. We don't just build applications; we build partnerships. When you succeed, we succeed, and that's why we invest the time to truly understand your business, your goals, and your challenges. Your vision becomes our mission, and we're committed to delivering solutions that don't just meet your needs but exceed your expectations.
