Marco Nelson - Navy Officer to Co-Founder and App Developer
Manage episode 247928473 series 2323764
Marco Nelson transitioned from the military to a career in technology through a blend of active duty academic pursuits, a hobbyist interest in mobile app development, part-time real estate investing, and eventually additional academics immediately after his transition. He knew early on in his Navy career that he had a strong pull to develop and build mobile device applications, and pursued a path that led him to a place where he’s using software to solve real-world problems he encountered as a real estate investor.
His story is a great example of extracurricular skills training and academic accomplishment while still in uniform, blending relevant career milestones with personal interests to set a foundation that positioned him well to transition to entrepreneurship. He's also a tech founder launching a startup from New Orleans, LA far from the software engineering talent mecca of Silicon Valley. We discuss the challenges this poses and how his team has grown despite being located in a city not usually known for its technology workforce.
For those considering a career in application development, real-estate, or entrepreneurship this episode is for you.
