+ Hello
+UX Designer, Developer, and Program Manager. Creating software for the construction world. Previously at Red Hat and AWS. Collector of nerdy things forever.
+
+Adam Jolicoeur is a designer, developer, and program manager in Massachusetts. Starting as a help desk tech, he discovered a desire to create technology rather than fixing it, which lead to a leap into the software engineering space.
+While working at a small startup, Adam discovered the world of user experience design and realized that his future was before him. With a background in fine arts and knowledge in software development space (Backbone/Angular, anyone?), Adam took another step forward by becoming the first ux designer at a financial startup. Leading the next-generation of product design for card processors and financial institutions, Adam took that experience and used it to catapult into the large, corporate world.
+With a move to Red Hat (later acquired by IBM), Adam accelerated his career path (and filled up many pages in his passport) through working with industry experts and the open source community on enterprise software experiences. After five years at Red Hat, Adam joined a small team at Amazon in AWS's Safety Engineering group to work on a new issue tracking and management product. While this time at Amazon came to abrupt close during the layoffs of 2023, the knowledge gained from such an environment only strengthened his desire to create in a collaborative and forward-looking environment.
+Adam has continued his career at Component Assembly Systems as their Lead Program Manager and Head of UX.
