SUMMARY

I started at Certified Marketing Services on breaks from college doing Customer Service and working in the warehouse. Once I graduated from SUNY Oswego, I landed a job as a Software Developer with them, learning the business from the back-end and moving towards an engineering leadership role. After they were acquired by Market Force MFI , I moved into Production Support. I was able to leverage my knowledge of the industry and technology to help MFI become an amazing company. I then moved to the SPAR Group once they acquired the Merchandising and Auditing part of MFI.

I take pride in my ability to quickly and effectively adapt to changes while assuming many different roles, communicating well with members from every faction of a company and providing analytical solutions to internal and external clients.

I was given the go-ahead to head up the project as lead developer. I develop using C .Net, MS SQL and Visual Studio.
