I’m Scott Schecter, founder and principal engineer at Schecter & Co.
I have been bringing high quality custom software solutions to market for customers in the governmental and private sectors for over 20 years.
I prefer open source software that the owner can freely modify and believe proprietary software should be avoided if at all possible. I also believe simplicity is the ultimate sophistication and the wheel in the sky keeps on turning.
When not working I enjoy practicing bonsai, reading books, listening to music, and general tomfoolery.
I am a software engineer with a proven track record of delivering high quality software on time and on budget. I create custom software solutions and modernize legacy software systems to solve my customers’ unique problems quickly and efficiently. I work with my customers and ask them questions about their current situation and future goals to ensure they get the optimal software solution to their problems. I enjoy providing elegant simplistic solutions to complex problems with ambiguous requirements.
Provide consulting, software engineering, and application development services. Design, develop, maintain, and support custom software applications and platforms for my customers. I talk to my customers and listen to their needs and goals and translate those needs into actionable application requirements and engineering specifications with accurate implementation estimates. I ensure the solution delivered will solve the problem presented.
