1. PERSONAL STATEMENT

I am a highly motivated, capable individual who is accustomed to long hours both day and night in a previous long term occupation as a
government contractor. I am particularly drawn to learning new roles and assuming new responsibilities in order to satisfy my need for
new experiences and challenges. I am a recent graduate of The Iron Yard’s three-month intensive front-end engineering immersive
program. This tenure has provided invaluable insight in the effective use of a significant range of software development tools and the
creation of solutions throughout its duration which I aim to continue to develop .
