Hi there!

I'm Derrick, bringing over a decade of tech expertise and Disney magic to Welcome Compass. My journey began at The Walt Disney Company, where I spent 5 years mastering room inventory management and enhancing guest services. Leading a team dedicated to guest NPS, we constantly innovated to elevate the guest experience. Post-Disney, my tech adventures spanned various projects, from web technologies to mobile apps. This unique blend of hospitality and technology expertise makes me adept at integrating advanced tech solutions to transform and personalize guest experiences.
