About
In May of 2012, I completed my degree in a Master of Science in Computer Science program at Kutztown University. In my studies, I have taken courses in database design, information security, networking, web-based development, and project management. My undergraduate degree is in Graphic Design, which provides a unique perspective in the software development side of things. Currently, I work for Maxwell Systems in King of Prussia, developing a complete software package for larger scale construction companies. Although I am not actively seeking new employment at this time, I am always interested in making new connections and extending my professional network.
I look forward to speaking with you!
