About Russell Thackston

I am a veteran of the U.S. Air Force with a BBA/MIS degree from Georgia Southern University and an MS/CIS from Georgia State University. I have developed commercial, shrink-wrapped, and open source software, consulted to public and private industry, and taught Information Systems classes as a full-time temporary professor at Georgia Southern University.

After 10+ years in industry, I have quit my “corporate” job and started work on a PhD in Computer Science and Software Engineering at Auburn University, with the sole purpose of landing a tenure-track teaching position so I may freely warp the minds of future software engineers.
