A dedicated, self-motivated, and self-taught Software Engineer with demonstrated success in the design and development of Assistive Technology applications for Microsoft Windows operating systems. Eight years of experience in developing software using C++ and a deep understanding of using object-oriented design principles. Proven problem solving skills. Proven ability to acquire knowledge about new concepts independently in a short amount of time. Seeking a position either full time or on a contract basis as a Software Engineer that makes use of existing skills and that provides new challenges. Also seeking a position that allows me to expand my knowledge beyond the realm of developing Assistive Technology applications for Microsoft Windows operating systems.

I am often chosen for projects that require cooperation between Freedom Scientific and other companies due to my ability to get results fast. Most recently I have worked with IBM on making their WebSphere Host On-Demand software accessible to an individual who is blind or has low vision and depends on JAWS or MAGic to use a computer. I have also worked on projects with Sun Microsystems and Oracle to improve the Java Access Bridge and to make Java Swing applications accessible to the JAWS or MAGic user. In addition I am often assigned to fix some of the most challenging bugs in our products. I have a deep understanding of the code and how the various components work together. I am able to find problems in the code even if I have never worked with that area of the code before. I have a natural instinct for determining what the most likely cause of the problem is and where I should start debugging.
