OBJECTIVE
To utilize my unique set of programming, customer service, interpersonal, and technical skills to obtain long-term employment. Skilled in a variety of languages, including C, C#, C++, Java, Visual Basic, Python, and MySQL, I’m looking to apply myself and learn how to effectively test software in multiple environments. Self-driven, I have learned multiple other languages and skills outside of a classroom to be able to adapt to an ever-changing job environment.
