I am a creative problem solver with broad experience in software development. I want to contribute to the success of a team working on interesting projects with modern tools where I can continue to improve and advance my craft. Specific domain expertise includes retail and B2B e-commerce, medical, telecom, cable/digital TV, aviation, manufacturing, and biology. I always love an opportunity to explore new terrain. I am a full-stack developer, but my core competencies are in Java, databases, and producing and consuming APIs.
