Check Out Appstem on TechRepublic

Robert Armstrong is the co-founder and CEO of Appstem, a mobile design and development firm in San Francisco. Some of their top developers don’t have computer science degrees, including their other co-founder/tech advisor (who has an electrical engineering degree) and their CTO (a neuroscience degree).

If anything, Armstrong said Appstem is drawn to technology professionals who have not gone the traditional route.

“It shows that they have initiative, they’re smart, and can pick things up on their own. They can work through problems and teach themselves,” he said. “Being a boutique development company, we need smart people who are flexible, versatile, and are successful with minimal supervision. And most importantly they love what they’re doing. I’d take these qualities over a CS degree any day.”
