Experienced software developer. Vast knowledge integrating, customizing, testing, and deploying software. I worked for more than 10 years supporting software for development of microprocessors used in enterprise systems. Currently working as an Applications Developer for a healthcare analytics company.

Years of experence in coding in Python, testing (regression testing, unit testing, integration testing, code coverage). I love debugging - years of working with "blackbox" and proprietary vendor tools honed those skills.
