Glenn Smith

President & Chief Software Architect at Mighty Ant DataWorks

Glenn Smith is a graduate of the California Institute of Technology where he studied Computer Science. While at Caltech, he and two classmates entered a national software development contest co-sponsored by Apple Computer and the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. to create ground breaking museum display software. Glenn and his two teammates won first prize, thousands of dollars of computer hardware (each) — and an entire Macintosh lab for Caltech. Glenn’s software was put on display in the Smithsonian for 17 years — being put there at the beginning of his career — not at the end like most folks! The software also became Glenn’s company’s first product, being resold to museums around the world for a dozen years after.

Glenn has been programming computers since he was 12 years old. He has designed software for space probes, intellectual property management systems, trouble ticket systems, online image databases, web publishing systems, and much more, for non-profits and enterprises around the world, both large and small. He knows an almost foolishly large number of computer programming languages, but these days works with clients to get to the heart of business issues. "How can they best apply technology to grow?" is a question he asks then answers over and over in their work with clients.
