Roger wrote his first commercial software program in 1988 while he was still in college. He's had two long careers as a graphics designer/coordinator with a small magazine, and as lead software engineer/Oracle DBA/Linux and Windows system administrator with Indiana University. In November 2014, he left I.U. to focus on Streamside Software, the company he co-founded with his wife, Jill.
In 2016 Roger joined Attain, LLC providing iOS development for the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) under the CDC. In 2018 Roger was awarded the Bullard-Sherwood award (Technology Category) for his integral contributions to the redesign and development of the OSHA-NIOSH Heat Safety Tool iOS app.

Where I’m Located

Streamside Software, LLC is located just north of Indianapolis in beautiful Carmel, Indiana, (with colocations in local coffee shops of course).
