Hi, I’m Chad Netwig — a seasoned Software Engineer, IT Consultant, and Systems Architect with over 30 years of hands-on technology experience designing and deploying scalable, secure technology solutions. I hold a Master of Computer Science degree from Arizona State University’s Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering and have a proven track record across full-stack development, cybersecurity, systems infrastructure, and cloud-based architectures.
I’ve founded and led IT businesses, engineered firewalls from the kernel level up, deployed enterprise network infrastructures, and recently focused on integrating AI into both technical systems and creative applications like music composition.
My approach blends hands-on technical expertise with strategic thinking and a deep passion for innovation, mentoring, and lifelong learning. I thrive on solving complex problems and transforming business needs into effective, elegant software solutions.
Let’s connect if you’re interested in collaboration, consulting, or building something great together.
