In my professional career, I have been involved in several interesting projects. From implementing web applications to low level work in backend services, I have always been heavily involved in the software development life cycle. My goal is to bring excellence to whatever discipline I am involved in and demonstrate that excellence through my unique talents - whether they be my technical skills, my organizational skills, my perspectives, or my odd sense of humour. Finding the right balance between work and personal time is also a continuing balancing act. By continuing to do things that I enjoy, I hope to bring passion in all of my efforts.Specialties: - highly experienced in Java, Unix/Linux, shell scripting and various other languages and platforms- experienced with MVC frameworks such as Spring MVC- experienced with containers such as Tomcat and the Spring dependency injection framework- understanding of the complete software life cycle process- strong knowledge of software design patterns- experienced with middleware/backend server development- experienced with relational database systems and MongoDB (NoSQL) and data access
