After having worked in Bindery and Inventory Management and Shipping for 15+ years and striving to become as efficient and accurate as possible I expanded my hobby of software development into a new career.
In my free time I enjoy learning new technologies and ideas such as Web Development, Software Development, Arduino Development, Video Production, and Photography.
Creative, resourceful and flexible, able to adapt to changing priorities and maintain a strong work ethic.
