• Bachelor of Science, Computer Science,
• Bachelor of Science, Studio Art/Visual Communication,

OBJECTIVE SUMMARY 
Accomplished professional (10+ years in previous career path) transitioning into application development after
completing second BS degree in Computer Science (GPA: 3.283 overall, 3.3 major-specific, 3.67 upper
level/concentration-specific) in August of 2012.
Notable Exceptional Resulting Achievement:

• Completion of Android-OS application in only 8 weeks with small team of peers, with all deliverables submitted on time. Successful deployment of application for final capstone class was graded at 100/100 points. Application was built using spiral method (with some research of Agile), with Java via the Eclipse IDE using Android Development Tools and Software Development Kit, which allows translation to XML and SQLite as used by Android-OS portables.

COMPUTER SCIENCE SKILLSET

• Via Computer Science I (equivalent to Programming II): Absorbed foundational goals to build applications using Java which included all core elements of software engineering. Acquired skills with cleanly compiling syntax and semantics of Java, with coding including external file input/output, advanced usage of arrays and classes, a GUI, and the design of an algorithm translated to the Java language. Deliverables included both internal code documentation as well as external documentation.
• Via Intermediate Programming (equivalent to Programming III): Added skills of in-depth techniques to build Java applications with deft methods of using classes, GUI, data structures, class inheritance, and even recursion. Designed multiple algorithms translated to Java, with extreme emphasis placed on clean code and compliant internal documentation, and zero compiling issues. All projects were built with NetBeans 7 to simulate real-world development methods.
• Via Data Structures and Analysis: Added skills of user-defined data structures within object-oriented design, via applications implemented in Java. Skill building projects contained functioning linked lists, stacks, queues, arrays, maps, vectors, and trees, with algorithms for sorting, searching, and recursion. Particular emphasis was placed on clean code with zero issues when compiling, which included learning how to write code to prevent the compiler from discriminating among the contents of data input.
• Via Advanced Programming Languages: Comparison of programming languages to write both safe and secure programs, including advanced syntax and semantics, and proper run-time support. Emphasis on languages studied was for C++, Ada 95, C#, and Java, with a program written in both C++ and Java. Supplied raw, incomplete, and non-compiling code was modified, translated, restructured, enhanced, and properly debugged to run in C++ and Java. Non-bloated code, compliant internal documentation, and proper compiling were properly achieved to gain success (two programs constituted majority of grade).
• Via Object-Oriented and Concurrent Programming: Used Java via NetBeans 7 (to simulate real-world development process) to design, implement, test, debug, and document applications with concurrent programming elements, which included task synchronization, threads, and sophisticated event-driven GUIs.
• Via Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms: Added skills of critical principles necessary to evaluate and design algorithms via applications with Java. Basic algorithms were either translated to Java, or code snippets were modified to capture and record both counted occurrences as well as execution times, and output the data. The findings were then processed to obtain averages of 50 passes of 10 differing randomly generated data sets. The algorithms were both recursive and iterative equivalents where possible.
• Via Current Trends and Projects in Computer Science: Added skills of the practical application of current computer technology to create a single application, with complete simulation of a work environment lifecycle. The application was created for portable devices using the Android OS, via Java specifically using the Eclipse IDE because of its unique Android Development Tools and Software Development Kit. The entire process was successfully completed with a team of five members in eight weeks, and included design, development, implementation, testing, and documentation. The spiral method of development was embraced, and variants of it (such as Agile) were researched to enhance the development despite the brief timeframe. Along with real-world use of the Eclipse IDE, both ML and SQLite coding was learned in the process, since the Android OS relies on both for its implementation.
