PROFILE:
================================================================================
My career as a software engineer began in my sophomore year of undergraduate studies when I discovered my notable aptitude and considerable passion for programming. While in school I studied several programming languages, as well as several object-oriented design methodologies. I also gained valuable work experience through several internships. After excelling in my undergraduate studies and achieving my degree in Computer Science in 1999, I continued on at Governor’s State without breaking stride, in pursuit of a Master’s of Science Degree in Computer Science, which I earned in the winter of 2002.
With the successful completion of my bachelor’s degree, I began my professional career at Lucent Technologies. I also began to do some part-time IT consultant work for CyberGami Consulting in order to acquire more software engineering experience to couple with the project management experience I was gaining at Lucent. The experience I gained at both Lucent and CyberGami has been invaluable. The result was the tactical balance of technical and managerial ability that laid the groundwork of my IT career.
Leaving Lucent with an array of project management and team leadership abilities, I went to work for IIT Research Institute. There I worked on several large simulation software design projects. I left IITRI in search of a position that would nurture my project management talent as well as my technical ability. That search led me to CNA where I have gained significant enterprise software development, Object-Oriented design, and development life cycle experience designing and developing major Client/Server, and J2EE based Enterprise Applications. Here, I also completed formal project management training, which has increased my leadership potential. Most recently I have earned Sun Microsystems’ prestigious Sun Certified Java Programmer (SCJP) Certification, solidifying my status as a professional Java developer. I look forward to new challenges that will test my technical prowess, alongside my leadership abilities.
