INTEREST

For Czarina Walker, programming just came naturally. She wrote her first lines of code before she ever wrote an elementary school book report. Her very first computer was a "cutting edge" Texas Instruments 99/4. As a child, Czarina loved entertaining family and friends by writing custom programs using the TI99/4's speech synthesizer and interactive graphics. Her youthful pastime of developing logic and code would serve as the foundation for her interest in math, science, and technology later in life.

Although running her custom computer creations was fun and exciting, the technology simply didn't hold her interest as she grew older. Technological limitations kept her from seeing the true advantages and future applications of computers.

OPPORTUNITY

By 1994, the Internet was becoming a notable resource on forward-thinking college campuses in the United States. Computers were emerging with new and amazing functions. Technology's progress had set the stage for Czarina's future career.

In her first year of college, as a pre-med student, Czarina found herself in an unlikely job surrounded by custom software designers. This environment rekindled her interest in technology and helped her learn the strength of her programming abilities. What truly amazed Czarina about professional software developers was that they were constantly able to create solutions for any problem. She fell in love with the way software prototypes were demonstrated to the users and then tailored to meet their specifications. Over time, Czarina was trusted with a few small custom software projects at her job, and soon was given the chance to use her skills on larger company-wide projects.

Once she began developing custom software, she received many recommendations from friends and associates. Czarina's reputation for taking ample time to fully understand the user's needs, and her ability to create stable, long-term solutions opened the door to new opportunities. She was being offered so many projects that she decided to turn her lifelong "hobby" into an official career. In 1996, Czarina opened Custom Database Solutions in her home in Baton Rouge, La.

Success

After about three years of working alone developing custom software, Czarina incorporated her business and began hiring employees. Custom Database Solutions soon became InfiniEdge Software, Inc. As Czarina grew her business, she became committed to building a highly-talented, dedicated and cohesive team of developers who would share her same commitment to excellence and enthusiasm for custom software. She felt that the only thing better than developing great custom software was developing great custom software with a team. Therefore, she sought out a collaborative group of well-trained, enthusiastic, professional developers.

With 13 on staff today, InfiniEdge Software still holds to the missions Czarina learned early in her career: that all successful custom software projects focus on creating solutions for the users; and that there is no substitute for a highly-cohesive development team.

Growth

InfiniEdge Software now employs seven Application Developers and Programmers. Additionally, a Creative Team has evolved as a strong resource for the development staff. The Creative Team members have expertise in graphic design and writing which enhances our custom software with professional interface design and user-friendly text.

InfiniEdge Software has grown tremendously over the past three years and continues to evolve to stay on the edge of emerging technologies. Custom software development customers are cutting edge, which is why their software development firm should be as well.
