Skills and Education Already Possessed
I have over 25 years of experience in software and web development. This includes complete systems design down to legacy system maintenance.
I am familiar with all aspects of the software development cycle from conception and idea gathering from the customer to delivery and support of the end product.
Skills Required For Future Advancement
As each new technology emerges, it is a must for any serious developer to keep informed and up to date. There is no reason to be stuck in the past, just because a system works. You may find that the newer technologies can improve the performance or run more efficiently than some of these old systems.
Additional Items Needed
I am currently pursuing a degree in the computer sciences field. The acquisition of this degree, along with my learned work experience should help me to be successful in my career aspirations.
