OBJECTIVE
Seeking to extend my career developing and integrating the latest products for government and commercial market.
Prior experience working with design engineers developing computer hardware and software from concept to finished

products. I have the cognitive skills to learn very quickly, what I do not know or understand. My whole-hearted
pursuit to learn something new every day is second to none.
