Programmer Analyst | Software Developer

About Me

I am a Programmer Analyst / Software Developer with experience designing, developing, and maintaining software applications. I enjoy meeting with both departmental supervisors, middle-level managers, and frontline users to discuss business requirements and address user-experience issues. My experience demonstrates capabilities in the full software development lifecycle, both front-end UI development, middle-tier business logic, and database integration. My "soft skills" center on quality written & verbal communication, documentation of software procedures, and clear explanations of technical concepts.
