CAREER OBJECTIVE
To work in an environment that is both challenging and gratifying, while providing room for
educational and professional growth. I have a great passion for Computers and problem
solving environments along with a strong drive to keep my skills up to date with the latest
available tools and techniques. This helps me to enjoy what I do as well as ensure that I will
always be an important asset to the Team I work on. I get some of my greatest feelings of
satisfaction when I can solve problems that others feel are unsolvable or improve the
performance on operations that are already supposed to be optimized.
