Jacob Basham’s Summary

I have recently completed my Bachelors of Science in computer science and have started working toward a Masters of Science in computer science concentrating in Web Technologies. I am overtly eccentric about seamless integration using interapplication communication, and passionate about the details that separate applications that are 'good enough' and great applications.

I have been working with web standards for over ten years, studying computer science for five years and have a history growing into leadership and training roles. I am currently looking forward to a software development position which will challenge me, allow me to grow professionally as well as academically.

Eventually I hope to teach computer science at the university level, become an active member of the open source community and develop great applications.
