Proprietor
I recently took a leave from software engineering to purchase and refurbish houses for resale and/or rent.
This involved bidding, planning, hiring workers, tracking payroll and purchases for simultaneous projects. I
had hands-on experience as well as subcontracting out tasks. Though not directly software development
related, there were many aspects ofproject management including forecasting costs, performing
cost/benefit analyses,time management including meeting required deadlines, and dealing with employee
issues and concerns.
