POSITION SOUGHT
My skills and experience as a FileMaker Pro database developer allow me to design and develop solutions
for computer users in a variety of settings. I thrive in a work environment in which I maintain primary
responsibility for gathering requirements from current or potential end users, designing database schema,
negotiating programming contract arrangements, and setting my own time priorities.
I am a self-starter who assesses situations, determines priorities, plans and implements strategies to
achieve desirable conclusions as defined by the goals of the company or project with which I am
affiliated. I integrate creativity with pragmatic goal-and-purpose-oriented planning on multiple levels.
