About Jeff Dever

Initially pursued hardware out of high school at Camosun College in Victoria British Columbia. After completing the Electronics Technician program in 1997, I worked in the field at Victoria Avionics. I went back to school at the University of Victoria where I switched to computer science. I took a coop term at Nortel in Ottawa which turned into a 16month internship after which I decided to stay in Ottawa. I transferred to Carleton University to finish my Computer Science Honours degree in 2003.

Since then I have worked both as a contractor and a full time employee in various industries including aviation, military, medical and automotive.

I currently work as a senior software designer and architect for the next generation vehicles at Ford Motor Company at the Technology Innovation center here in Ottawa.
