Software Engineer
I'm a passionate developer with a varied skillset. As a lifelong learner, I have spent time studying: design, development, Agile methodologies, business, sales, writing, languages (human and machine!) and most of all, people. But I've found my path in programming.
My background in programming covers a variety of languages, from JS to C#. Additionally, I have a background in project management in an Agile/Scrum team setting. This role gave me a high degree of familiarity with development workflows and the skills to identify and articulate use case scenarios and technical dependencies.
I believe that the most imporant skills a software engineer can bring to the table are focus, quality listening and communication skills, cooperative attitude, and a keen eye for business priorities. Technical skills serve best when they are backed by the human side of the job.
