About Me
Hi, my name is Spike Morelli and this is my thinking lab. Over the past 13 years of career in the tech industry I've been a developer, a system engineer, a devops person, a manager and a startup owner. I've taken the best from each experience and brought it into the next, innovating and focusing on delivering value. I have a passion for sociology and communication, but above all I care about making people happy, it's incredibly rewarding and happy folks do the best work.
Most of us wouldn't have done what we have done if we didn't have people around us to learn from, their experiences is what helped us grow, their passion our fuel. If that's also your experience let's make that circle bigger, reach out to me at fsm@spikelab.org or on twitter
