Software Engineer Resume Profile

Summary

I'm a writer, creator, editor, trainer, photographer, and techie with a background in journalism, which, at its heart, is storytelling, interviewing, and communication. Through many interests, I've learned that I possess an aptitude for communicating technical or complex subjects to others, that is, cutting through the jargon and focusing on the important concepts behind tasks, processes, and products. I'm not satisfied unless others understand what I'm trying to tell them.
