Christopher M.

I am a 26 year old Senior Software Engineer and Team Lead for the largest pool product manufacturer in North America. I have a bachelors degree in Computer Science from the University at Albany and currently develop enterprise business applications and lead a team of eight Java developers.

In the past I have worked for the New York State Governor's Office of Employee Relations, New York State Education Department, Railex, Global Market Research, HRP Associates, AREEP, and many other companies with great success and excellent references. I have done paid or compensated usability research for Amazon Web Services, IBM, and Stack Overflow.

I have a very strong knowledge of Java and the Java Ecosystem, web services, message oriented middleware, object relational mapping, relational databases, cloud services (AWS and Openstack), service oriented architecture, data structures, algorithms, design patterns, programming paradigms, object oriented design and analysis, scripting and ETL development, and software engineering principles.

I began coding when I was 12 and what separates me from my peers is that I have a passion for development that has been burning for over 15 years. As a lifelong developer I have taken high school and AP computer science (scoring a 5 on the AP exam) and can tutor specifically for that test. As a university student I took the following computer science, mathematics, and informatics courses:

Introduction to Computer Science, Computer Architecture, Discrete Structures, Calculus I, Calculus II, Calculus based Mechanics, Calculus based Electromagnetism, Numerical Methods of Computing, Advance Object Oriented Development, Software Engineering, Programming at the Hardware and Software Interface, Systems Programming, Social and Security Implications of Engineering, Discrete Probability, Statistics, Introduction to Databases, Database Performance Principles and Transaction Management, Web Programming (informatics), Computing and Information (informatics), information in the 21st Century (informatics), Intro to Web Technologies (informatics), Research Methods of Informatics, and Networks and Systems.
