Objective

I wish to progress in the fields of software engineering and enterprise architecture. I would also like to utilise my project management experience to eventually lead a team in the development cycle of software products and a lot later, move towards more business facing roles such as a development manager.

I am open to various industries, required software languages and technologies.

 

I have attained personal skills in the following C# / .NET fields:

·         Windows Forms

·         User Controls

·         Class Library and API Design

·         N-Tier Design and OOP Patterns

·         ADO .NET (SQL Server / Oracle)

·         XML/XSLT

·         ASP .NET

·         Sockets Programming (TCP/UDP)

·         Multi-threading

·         Graphics (GDI+)

·         Microsoft XNA
