I truly enjoy working with people, especially when we have a common goal. I enjoy tackling complex issues and researching new ideas and concepts. Being able to learn quickly and on my own is one of my greatest assets. I am thorough, dedicated, willing and eager to absorb new skills while always working to develop my current skill set. I have confidence in my ability to apply, adapt and grow. I know that I can make a powerful and positive contribution to any team I am a part of.Specialties: software engineering, Java and Groovy development, testing (including unit, acceptance, continuous integration and automated regression), SDLC design and implementation (Eclipse, IntelliJ, Jira, Bamboo, TeamCity, Confluence, FishEye + Crucible, SVN, Maven and Artifactory), relational databases (DB2 and Sybase) with some experience in NoSQL databases (MongoDB), working knowledge of web development frameworks and programming/markup languages (RESTful services, Apache/Tomcat, HTML/CSS/JavaScript)
