Prior to becoming an attorney, Pollack worked as a software engineer in Silicon Valley for numerous technology start-up companies, developing sophisticated backend distributed database systems for a number of enterprise applications, including self-publishing platforms, medical records management, and networked attached storage systems . He received his J.D. magna cum laude from Stetson University College of Law; his M.S. in Computer Science from Stanford University; and his B.A. from Colby College.
“We are excited to have Woody join our team in Tampa and expand our office’s Intellectual Property capabilities,” said David B.
