During his career at Envisage, he has served as mentor, educator, designer, developer, IT administrator, and director, the release stated.
Snyder left the company during the early 2000s and returned in 2012. Prior to rejoining Envisage, he was a senior engineering manager in IBM’s Enterprise Systems Mainframe division, as well as an instructor of networking technology and computer science with SUNY.
