Vinny Carpenter

I am a total geek that lives in Brookfield – WI (Milwaukee), making my living as a self-anointed renaissance IT person with an interest in software design, development, mobility, infrastructure and security. I spend all my time on topics such as software design and development, mobility and mobile app development, security, cloud computing and things like IAAS, PAAS & BAAS.

In my spare time, when I am not in front of my computers, I spend every other minute with my other loves: My wife and daughter, books, music, guitars, gadgets and writing iOS apps for my daughter. In my real life, I manage IT Strategy and R&D at an Investment Management company located in downtown Milwaukee. Prior to that, I was the lead architect for Wells Fargo Advantage Funds. Before Wells Fargo, I was an Enterprise Architect for Strong Financial. Wells Fargo acquired Strong at the beginning of this year (2005) and most of us came along for the ride. Prior to Strong, I worked at Quad/Graphics and Marquette University.
