\"Remon<\/a>Remon Amboy isn\u2019t just committed to his work at Yardi <\/a>as Director of ASP \u2013 he has shed blood for the company. Repeatedly.<\/p>\n

A 23-year-employee in Santa Barbara, Remon began his Yardi career as a part-time temp who answered phones for his first few months (he was also attending school at the University of California at Santa Barbara at the time). Fast forward two decades, and he\u2019s now in charge of 10,000 devices, has helped Yardi open 12 data centers around the world and oversees 70 employees.<\/p>\n

Those data centers, though, can be a little dangerous. That\u2019s where Remon has managed to cut himself while racking servers and completing other equipment set-up tasks, quickly dashing off to the first aid kit to keep his blood off any equipment. Who knew IT had a sharp side?<\/p>\n

A native of the Philippines who moved to the U.S. as a teen and attended high school in the Bay Area, Remon\u2019s philosophy of work is simple but smart: Do the job at hand, and do it well, and other opportunities will likely follow.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe formula in this company for success was for me, and for others as well, do the job that you\u2019re doing and do it well. If you prove yourself to this company, opportunity will be there. Do your job well, and do it efficiently and good things will happen,\u201d he said. He jokes that he earned a master\u2019s and PhD at Yardi University. At UCSB, he earned his bachelor\u2019s degree in political science.<\/p>\n

Creating opportunity has worked well for Remon at Yardi Systems. His first official job here was in the now-phased out MLS department, where he helped create regular real estate listing digests for regional MLS\u2019. Pre-photo scanners, the work was repetitive and involved pasting hundreds of photos of homes and land into binders each week so they could be printed and distributed.<\/p>\n

Next he became the print shop supervisor for MLS, and then moved into tech support, followed by development and QA. Eleven years ago, he was part of the team that founded the Yardi IT department. So was Senior Vice President Scott Wiener, who oversees IT and has been with the company 24 years.<\/p>\n

Amboy speaks very fondly of the close-knit team he works with and their strong skill sets, personalities and aptitudes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a small team. We should be double the size, but it\u2019s so hard to find people out there who fit with our team. We\u2019ve been very selective about team members and most of our team has been here at least five years,\u201d he told us.<\/p>\n

The IT department is now responsible for maintaining a dozen data centers and workplaces for Yardi\u2019s 2,500-plus employees, as well as storing client data that\u2019s part of Yardi\u2019s Cloud Services and Software as a Service offerings. IT professionals at Yardi must work across global time zones to serve data and offices worldwide.<\/p>\n

A mountain biker who enjoys playing and watching tennis, staying healthy, travel and spending time with his wife and three kids, Remon once thought his life\u2019s work would be practicing law. He\u2019s not at all sorry about the different direction a part-time job took his career \u2013 but sometimes he looks back, incredulous<\/p>\n

\u201cI never thought that I would be a director in IT,\u201d he told us, clearly grateful at the place his unexpected path \u2013 and hard work \u2013 has brought him.<\/p>\n
