Today, Dr. Salazar has over 27 years industry experience, 22 years
university teaching experience, and 24 years technical training and
development experience to Fortune 500 companies. He has taught and designed
over 150 technical courses, which also include software development,
mentoring, and consulting services in these areas. He manages a diverse team
