I Excel in Software Engineering, Engineering Management, Systems Engineering, Sales Engineering, Technical Account Management, Systems Administration, API Design, and Technical Support Roles.
I'm generally more attracted to the duties and opportunities a position holds rather than the title of the position; as such, I've had the pleasure of performing a wide range of tasks in all the positions I've held. I have worked for companies that market and sell installable software (desktop and server), as well as software/platform/infrastructure as a service (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS).
I consider myself to be very technical, and a quick learner of new concepts and technologies. I'm able to easily communicate with team members, customers, and prospects, regardless of their technical background.
Most recently used skills: Android Java, iOS Objective-C, Node.JS, Ruby on Rails, RSpec, Cucumber, GIT, SVN, MongoDB, Redis, PHP, JavaScript, jQuery, AWS/EC2, Twitter, Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Salesforce APIs.
IoT, wearable, and embedded API experience includes Raspberry PI, Arduino, AllJoyn, Toq, Samsung mobile, and Tizen.
