AnaVation is excited to feature Terry, who has been with our company for an impressive nine years. As a Data Engineer, Terry continues to push the boundaries of his technical knowledge, always eager to take on new challenges. His journey has been of constant growth, fueled by opportunities to expand his skills, and a unique balance between his professional ambitions and personal passions. 

Since joining AnaVation, Terry has significantly expanded his skill set, adding several development languages to his repertoire. One of the perks he appreciates most is the freedom to choose which programming languages to focus on. This flexibility has empowered him to continually grow as an engineer and stay on the cutting edge of technology. 

Terry credits his longevity at AnaVation to the supportive coworkers, management, and job opportunities that have come his way. He’s especially grateful for the open and inclusive culture where employee ideas are not only heard but embraced. “I’ve been given every opportunity to grow as I desire,” highlighting how management’s approach has played a crucial role in his professional development and has kept him with AnaVation for nearly a decade. 

Outside of work, Terry has a slightly different passion: raising chickens! What began as a response to the economic situation and a desire for farm-fresh eggs has become a full-fledged hobby. Terry currently has 19 chickens soon to be 22. Terry is also passionate about woodworking. When he’s not immersed in development projects or catering to his chickens, you can find him in his workshop. 

Terry’s commitment to his work and hobbies shows the balance he’s found at AnaVation—where personal and professional growth are equally encouraged and supported.
