I have nine years of software development experience in C/C++ including requirements analysis, software design and development, unit and integration testing, final acceptance testing and product demonstration. I am relaunching my career after stepping away to focus on my family. I am currently working at SAP SuccessFactors in a Returnship Program as a Java Backend Engineer. I am excited to relaunch my career and have updated my skills by learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, ReactJS, and NodeJS. I am looking forward to being on a team that leverages these technologies and more. My ability to collaborate with other engineers, explain design decisions to stakeholders and connect the dots between projects and past experiences is one of my greatest assets.
