About the author

My name is Dick Olsson, I’m a Director and Principal Engineering Lead at Pfizer. For almost two decades, I’ve led diverse software teams in different industries and parts of the world.

Whether my teams were delivering software to support journalists at Al Jazeera during societal unrest or rapidly responding to the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic at Pfizer, I’ve learned that Time is Life, Trust is Everything and Science Will Win.

Some people know me as dixon_ from the Drupal open source communtiy where I used to be a core contributor.
