Founded in 1996, Sirius Systems Consulting combines the unique and complementary talents of partners Paul Grimm and Scott Kuentz.
Paul Grimm is a software craftsman and founding partner of Sirius Systems Consulting. After ten years working as an employee for various manufacturing and software consulting firms, Paul realized his lifelong entrepreneurial dream of becoming an independent software consultant.
Throughout his 42-year career, Paul has architected, designed, developed, tested, and implemented a wide assortment of software solutions including data migration, integration, reconciliation services, test automation frameworks, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, retail point-of-sale (POS), credit authorization processing, warehouse management systems (WMS), investment account management, image processing, and more.
Paul has worked across a range of industries including financial services, retail, government, non-profit, manufacturing, and distribution.
Prior to forming Sirius Systems Consulting, Paul worked as programming project manager for Interlink Technologies, an IBM Business Partner specializing in the design of custom warehouse management systems.
Paul learned BASIC programming on a TRS-80 at age 12, soldered together his first computer from a kit at 15, wrote his first COBOL program (on punch cards) at 16, and obtained his first programming job (RPG II on an IBM System/34) at age 18.
Passionate about user interface design and creating better ways to develop software, Paul evolved from developing green-screen applications using procedural languages into the world of graphical user interfaces and object-oriented programming using PowerBuilder, earning the Certified PowerBuilder Developer credential. Since then, Java has become his object-oriented language of choice — though he can still navigate PowerBuilder with ease.
An advocate for open source, Paul spends much of his free time learning and exploring new languages and technologies. His current interests include AI-assisted software development, modern test automation tooling, and cloud-native application design.
