Experienced software developer with extensive experience in the Java programming language, the Talend software development tool, and the MySQL and DB2 databases. Non-technical skills include in-depth experience working with the Agile development methodologies, small project management, as well as mentoring peers with technical related learning. Passionate about learning and making the time to keep the technical skill set up to date via on-line courses and 'off to the side' software development projects. Committed to giving back to the community through volunteering and am a firm believer in the building of workplace bonds when people put their collective energies together towards the common goal of helping others.
