Professor Diament worked at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center from 2000-2014, primarily focusing on middleware and distributed systems, from which he has 13 patents as well as a number of publications (see his Google Scholar page.) During this time he impacted multiple IBM software products, including having his code in IBM products. From 2014-2016 Professor Diament was a Vice President at Goldman Sachs (Finance Engineering), where he researched, designed, and developed a custom language and tool chain which was used in a number of applications to reduce weeks to days for updates in application business logic in production (see his LinkedIn page for more details.) In 2016 he was invited to return "home" to Y.U. (Judah is an alumnus of both the college as well as RIETS), to prepare the next generation of Y.U. students for the same kind of success that he has enjoyed in his career.

 

How can you not allow yourself mistakes? You're not giving yourself the "freedom to fail", because I don't believe in "failure"; you're giving yourself the latitude to learn. I've learned most things I know how to do well by messing it up the first time. -General Norman Schwarzkopf (also see, l’havdil, Gittin 43a, Rabba bar Rav Huna)

 

Finally, the single most important thing to remember about any enterprise is that there are no results inside its walls. The result of a business is a satisfied customer. The result of a hospital is a healed patient. The result of a school is a student who has learned something and puts it to work ten years later. Inside an enterprise, there are only cost centers. Results exist only on the outside. -Peter Drucker (also see, l’havdil, Avos 1:14, and Avos 2:2)
