PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Graduated in 1980 as a programmer and immediately started in the IT field.
For 16 years, held positions of Functional Analyst and Programmer Analyst for well-known U.S. firms. In 1996, I accepted a contract with the Department of Social Services (DSS) in Westchester County, New York as a Consultant MAPPER Programmer to develop specialized applications.
In 2000, I accepted a position as a Systems Analyst with Ericsson Canada
for a period of 10 years. Following a major restructuring in 2010, I enrolled in a training program for Software Quality Assurance. I am currently looking for a new challenge to help me better utilize my potential in the IT field.
