About

I'm a world class mine scheduling expert with a health science degree but neither is my passion. I'm obsessed with technologies and processes that make peoples lives easier. In a professional setting that presents itself as Customer Experience (CX) and Digital Transofmration (DX) and me using the word "friction" too often.

    Trent created and implemented a sales reporting tool across the business. Working collaboratively with peers and senior managers, he was able to customize a sales calculator, which enabled managers to calculate performance outcomes and incentive bonuses. To my knowledge, this was implemented nationally. In my experience with Trent, he always demonstrated a tenacious attitude toward his work especially in areas of interest as described above.
