\"Alan<\/figure>

Alan Bruce has been working in application development since 1999. Over the years, he\u2019s had a front-row seat to the evolution of various technologies\u2014and especially to the rise of the Internet. But one thing about his work has remained constant: he still enjoys finding just the right solution for a client.<\/p>

A team player, even from a distance<\/strong><\/h2>

Alan joined the Direct Impact Solutions family about two years ago when the company acquired his then-employer, CoreSolutions Software in London, Ontario. At the time, health measures were forcing staff members to work from home. \u201cI love working from home,\u201d says Alan, \u201cbut I do miss the work environment and interacting with my colleagues, most of whom I\u2019ve known for 10 or 15 years.\u201d  According to the programmer, the company\u2019s strength lies in its team, and he appreciates working alongside each member. That\u2019s why he was so glad to meet several of his colleagues in person for the first time at a staff meeting in Quebec a few months ago.<\/p>

The Western University graduate is currently working on web application development for a client in the field of criminal background checks. \u201cWe\u2019re implementing new technologies and improving front-end web applications. This is a really exciting time right now,\u201d he says enthusiastically. Alongside his team, he makes regular progress reports to the client in order to take stock and make adjustments if necessary.<\/p>

A knack for happiness<\/strong><\/h3>

Outside of work, Alan leads a quiet life, taking time to relax and appreciating the quiet moments when they come. As he\u2019s happy in his job and satisfied with his current situation, he has no intention of changing anything in the short term.<\/p>

He got to this comfortable position in life by constantly learning about new developments in computer science\u2014technologies, languages and methods. His advice for young developers just starting out is to showcase their achievements and their open-mindedness: \u201cThe best way to get a foothold, whether it\u2019s in a small or large company, is to program. Show people that you\u2019re willing to learn new technologies and work as part of a team.\u201d<\/p>

These two qualities definitely make Alan a valuable asset to the company today!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
