Software Engineer, Business Enthusiast and Dreamer
Allentown, Pennsylvania Area
Since leaving college I have focused primarily on business-to-business integration via software solutions. This includes not only work with various platforms (Linux, AIX, Windows, IBM iSeries), programming languages (C/C++, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, etc.) but also within the business areas of the realm.
My career has focused on solving the difficult problems of integration regardless of the specific industry in which they dwell. My qualifications and experience have grown from being a simple programmer to being a generally well-rounded architect, engineer and active business contributor.
Throughout my future I look forward to immersing myself deeper into the technical aspects of the industry as well as the the associated business practices, methodologies, etc. I see myself some day being core systems architect of a complicated software product (or product line) and working towards CTO/CIO and even CEO of a company.
My affinity towards research, software in general, constant reading, etc. lends itself to not only furthering my current skills and expanding my skill sets, but also towards my future goals. I've been rewarded throughout my career for this as well as for my overall dedication to my work.
