SOFTWARE ENGINEER Resume RALEIGH, NC - Hire IT People

SUMMARY

I am a developer with strong background in object - oriented analysis and application design.
In my current position at Sunbird, I have had experience with all stages of the software development process from collecting user requirements to implementation, testing and maintenance.
I am most passionate about the Ruby because it's ease of use makes software development accessible to people who would otherwise never consider software engineering as an option.
