About Me
I am Hunter Berge - a full-stack engineer. I have a unique background of
innovation, engineering, and business management.
I enjoy working in agile environments where creative thinking and problem solving drive
progress. Growing up an entrepreneur, I have acquired the skill-sets needed to out think
problems and develop efficient and elegant solutions. Bootstrapping a company (Lot Spot
Inc.), building a full stack of technologies, dealing with government clients,
failing/succeeding, and bringing the company to millions in valuation has taught me a variety
of skills most cannot learn in a class or reading a textbook. It has taught me to be patient yet deliberate, that one should appreciate failure, embrace it, and learn from it, and the importance of open-mindedness.
