Ivan Novak is the Principal Engineer at OnlineMedEd in Austin, Texas. He is an entrepreneur, author & consultant who mentors up-and-coming founders & technologists.
I’ve been weaving my own way through the tech world since 2006. I got my start on Elance while looking for a hobby studying Economics at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California — I’ve been hooked since! I found code to be a wonderfully structured outlet for creativity. Seventeen years on, I guess that means I am a self-taught software engineer, but I couldn't have done it without the wonderful teachers and mentors I’ve had over my career.
Oh, me? I’m a husband and dad to four; I recently published my second book, “Surviving Software Complexity;” I’m 7 years into pursuing a hunch that has evolved into OHMS Capital; and I’m building an airplane in the garage ✈️
