About
My professional experience has given me the ability to adapt to a quickly changing environment with many factors involved including cost, network limitations and engineering software to be flexible enough to handle frequently changing business requirements.
While engineering a project I rely on thinking outside the box to determine the best approach to handle the situation. Whether this is to provide secure restricted access to sensitive data, or determining how a software product needs to be designed to handle large data sets. I have a strong focus on multithreaded, distributed, high availability systems.
