As a web application developer I have acted in roles throughout the development process. I have served as a lead developer on major projects, bringing them from the beginning of the requirements and specifications process through to a successful delivery to the client. I have carried out quality assurance on both my own work and the work of others. I have a proven ability to work with minimal supervision and have experience telecommuting. The primary technologies I used in developing these projects were ColdFusion, SQL, HTML and relational databases.
          My goal is to work in an environment where I can develop my existing skills and cultivate new ones. I prefer to work on the full spectrum of development. I look forward to working with a company that can inspire my enthusiasm and expand my abilities and understanding.
