Mete, who resides in Berlin, is a senior software engineer with Studio Codeworks and primarily telecommutes. That experience has led him to believe that Worcester County is a prime location for tech startups.
“Because of the nature of the tech industry, because it’s all computer-based, I can work from my home office,” he said. “If there’s a meeting that’s scheduled, I’ll drive up for the day and have face-to-face time with a client, and then I’ll go back home.”
Despite the occasional trek over the Chesapeake to visit the Studio Codeworks home office in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Mete spends the bulk of his workday on the Eastern Shore

Sorry, but not going to happen. The tech industry is moving to Northern Virginia. There's not enough skilled labor on the Eastern shore. Stick with farming, raising chickens, working at the hospital, collecting welfare, working at Wawa, a doctors office or a restaurant. That's the only jobs in the jobs for most of the people on the shore. If you're lucky you're able to open up your own business or move across the bay.
