About Skoll Software Consulting

Skoll Software Consulting is run by Dianne Skoll, a veteran software developer with over 25 years of experience in the industry.

I ran a software consulting business from 1999 through 2001; after 2001, the business changed focus and became Roaring Penguin Software, Inc., a provider of email security products. I ran Roaring Penguin, growing it to a 12-person company, until March 2018, when it was acquired.

Since Roaring Penguin, I've had experience in embedded software development as well as working a Perl-based ticket-tracking helpdesk system. I also have experience setting up and managing EC2 servers on AWS to provide cloud-based ticket-tracking services, as well as with various other AWS services.
