Highlights:
Being thorough and detail oriented, I have successfully found areas of high risk in programs, applications, enhancements and 'fixes' used in the airlines/ gaming industry. My ability to read and understand Design Documents and Functional Specifications has made me instrumental in uncovering and avoiding future problems. I have over ten years of experience in software development life cycle.
