A highly skilled and motivated software engineer, I began my programming practice in high school creating simple programs in Visual Basic. Now with over eight years of professional application development, I have a proven track record of gathering customer ideas, organizing them into defined requirements, and bringing them to fruition.I understand that applications do not just need to work, they also need to be scalable, maintainable and solidly tested to ensure the best possible experience for both user and developer. Utilizing proven architectural design patterns, best practices and testing schemes, I ensure not only customer satisfaction, but customer success. As an added bonus, my unique blend of software engineer and artist can help bridge the gap between function and form on any rich internet or mobile application.
