ABOUT ME
Innovative Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience in the full software development cycle -
from concept to delivery of an application.
Experienced in advanced development methodologies, tools and processes contributing to the design
and roll out of applications.
Exceptional troubleshooting skills - able to analyze code and provide well-researched and well thought
solutions.
A day outside of my work may consist of: scanning my server for resources to purge, fixing some back-end/front-end bugs, brain-storming new ideas and features, database design, setting up a build or deployment plan and test new features when I am lucky.
