Summary
I have been exposed to a wealth of experience during the Software Engineering Master’s Program at DePaul
University. My Professors have exposed me to an extensive level of information ranging from maintenance to basic
architecture, as well as problem solving, data structures, scripting practices, algorithm design, Q/A and testing, OO
development, project management, requirements engineering, agile development, data management and analysis, SOA,
and web services. I believe that this information has allowed me to grow intellectually and set a base for more
knowledge and growth. I have always been an avid learner, of anything. By review of my resume, you will notice that I
have succeeded in several different industries. I have had several superiors make mention to my immovable loyalty to
not only the company, but to the employees, and the customer perception of us as a whole. I believe that I would be an
asset to your group. This position would provide me with the ideal opportunity to assist at your organization and to
expand my skills as an individual. Given the opportunity, I can assure not only the basic expectations of me, but
significantly more.
