Why did you join HiDef, William?
I joined to a large extent because I was impressed by two different aspects of HiDef – the caliber of the people with whom I met and the scale and sophistication of the projects being pursued.
Those HiDeffers I met were intelligent, talented, passionate about their work, light-hearted, and truly excited to be there. And they still are. I could tell that they did not just love their work, but loved the team with which they worked and the culture in which they worked. They were about making a better world, and that is a strong motivator.
Why do you love HiDef?
HiDef not only strives to serve its clients great causes with the utmost professionalism and dedication, but it lives great causes itself. The culture encourages and embraces that, which makes the company itself a more conscientious, contributing member of this world. HiDeffers live the change they want to see and support our clients.

Buried nose deep in design and development of parts of or whole software systems; engaging in a brainstorm session with colleagues on effective means for addressing designs and issues; sharing news of pertinent technical advances and research to new toys; and bantering with the team.
It’s fun, too. Where else would you find a software trouble ticket assigned to a team member requiring that person catch up on the entire Star Wars movie series? While we are a distributed team, there is more genuine camaraderie here than I have experienced in over 25 years in this field.
