He started his career as a software engineer for Kodak, developing the support for the Kims Document Archival product. He also worked as a software manager for EDC, managing all aspects of product software development and support, and being instrumental in product development both in new product definition and existing product refinement. Mr. Niver then transitioned into consulting by working for HITEX, developing automatic source code translators, disassemblers and standard IP networking support for all emulators.
