## BIO
I have been a professional software developer for the past 8 years. I have been trained to follow development standards, and regularly make use of standard development paradigms, and use UML to design software applications. I got my start doing server-side web development for an entertainment company for which I was working. Since then, I have expanded my skillset to include client-side web development, Windows standalone application development, and Unix standalone application development. I continue to enjoy new challenges, and take pride in my ability to quickly and effectively develop new software applications. I am fluent in English (I was born and raised in northern California). I have a working knowledge of Spanish, French, German, Flemish, and Mandarin.
