Computer Science Grad Puts USD Honed Leadership, Problem-Solving Skills to Work in Career at Omnitech
Not only did Henderson earn his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in computer science with an AI specialization with the highest honors, but he also managed that while serving in leadership positions in organizations ranging from Code Club to Ultimate Frisbee.
Henderson now brings those leadership skills to his work with clients at the Sioux Falls software engineering firm Omnitech, Inc. As a software and data engineer, he helps professionals solve problems and improve their business by providing software and data solutions.
Working in the fast-evolving field of data science means Henderson and his colleagues are challenged to keep up with the latest advancements. “That is the most exciting thing to me,” he said. “What we thought the future would look like five years ago, or even a year ago, is different from what we think it will look like now. Every day we are learning more, and there is research being done that could uncover the next large breakthrough in AI and data science.”
At Omnitech, Henderson sees the varied solutions AI can give different companies.
“There is no one-size-fits-all solution that can plug into every business and solve every problem,” Henderson said. “It’s interesting to be able to see the variety in how AI is being used and can be used in the future to improve elements of each unique business.”
