I am a huge people-person and spent quite some time in Accounting, but a few years ago a serendipitous event inspired me to get into Technical Recruiting, and I love it! There is nothing greater than finding opportunities for smart people to do awesome things, and it's a fantastic process that I feel lucky to participate in. When I'm not working, I am usually with my 5 year old Pitbull/German Shepard mix (yup, he's still a pup), who loves to run and exercise even more than I do. I am very much a kid at heart, love to cook, watch football (Eagles baby!), play video games, and travel whenever I'm awarded the opportunity.I love meeting new people and learning new things, so please feel free to say hello and share a story with me.Recruiting Specialties:Recruiting: Boolean Logic, and other advanced sourcing techniques, such as, Social Media (Linkedin, Linkedin Recruiter, Facebook, and Twitter), Job Boards (Careerbuilder, Dice, and Monster), Google Resume Searches, and repository sites (Github and Stackoverflow).Development: Java, C, C++, Scala, OSGi C#, .NET, LAMP, Apache Hadoop, Atlassian Tools (Jira, Bamboo, Confluence), Perl, Bash, Python and Shell.Front-End Development: HTML5, CSS3, Jquery, JavaScript, Angular.js, Knockout.js, React.js, PHP, Require.js, Node.js, Bootstrap.Virtualization/Cloud Technologies: VMware, VMware ESX, VMware ESXi, Amazon AWS EC2, Citrix XenApp, and Citrix XenDesktop.Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing.
