Experienced Software Engineer
OBJECTIVE
I wish to join an organization that understands and values the talents and skills that I bring with me. As I work in an organization and learn their systems that I am assisting to develop (in relation to how the software works and interacts with other systems), my goal would be to move beyond that of just a software engineer and become more of a software architect that helps to define the future of both existing and new products.
ABILITY SUMMARY
Work experience in various service-oriented and computer related environments including investment firms, industrial, distribution, and transportation. I have been recognized for strong follow-through skills to ensure optimal customer service and productivity. Team player, always willing to provide support and guidance to peers at all levels. I have excellent interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills. I am self-taught with the ability to quickly learn new languages, platforms, and technologies. Known for strong troubleshooting and analytical skills derived from a broad range of knowledge and experience across multiple disciplines. Having had prior experience supporting the hardware, operating systems, and software in the PC world gives me a broader base of understanding how to write software to interact better with underlying systems.
