Introduction:

As represented in this resume, my experience and skill sets in Information Technology extend across a variety of industries, were obtained at venerated companies that hold rigorous standards, and includes progressive roles and responsibilities. At no time have I failed to deliver a quality product/service on-time, within budget, and to-specifications, despite changes in employers, changes in industries, employment gaps, or deficiencies in my academic credentials. My career in Information Technology started with a long gap between my initial studies and employment in the field, but this did not deter my success. My career in Information Technology was primarily accomplished while possessing merely a diploma from a technical school, but this did not deter my progress. In fact, I would submit that my success, juxtaposed with these factors, merely highlights my aptitude, commitment, and passion. My current employment gap is a reflection of, and coincides with, the economic crisis that began in 2008. However, I've utilized this time to address my academic credentials, and my studies have been aligned with, and subsequently augment, my expertise in Information Technology.
