With several years of computer experience...

Introduction

Being involved in the field of computers for several years, I have gained vast knowledge and experience in information technologies, network administration and Databases. I have strived to continuously improve myself by upgrading my technical skills to which I now hold Microsoft Certifications in MCSE, MCSA and MCDBA 2000. I also hold additional certifications in Visual Basic and C++ programming.

With over 2 years of experience as a Software Quality Assurance analyst, I have overseen product evolutionary cycles from conceptual modifications to full release versions. I have worked with and implemented leading Database Technology including Sybase and Oracle and performed a multitude of network communications. Additionally, I have been exposed to multiple software technologies and techniques that have fined tuned my problem solving and analytical skills needed to succeed.
