I am software developer for a non-profit organization. Predominately, I have worked with Microsoft Dynamics NAV, which is an enterprise resource planning system, but I also work with Salesforce, Boomi integration services, and other platforms. Depending upon the size of the project, I may also train the end users and generate the training documentation for them.

I enjoy learning new technologies and tools, and I am always eager to take on new challenges and opportunities that expand my skills and knowledge. I am a solution-oriented thinker with excellent troubleshooting skills.
