I am a senior software development analyst who has worked at top-rated computer and financial firms for over 30 years, including the likes of IBM, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Dow Jones, New York Life and Citi Bank. It was a long journey. I designed, developed and managed many software applications at these companies using Sybase, Oracle, Informix, Informatica, C, C++, Java, Transact Sql, C Shell, Korn shell, Perl, Python and Ruby in Unix and Windows environments. Also developed web application using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP. My experience was mostly with financial companies, but my first seven years was with IBM, developing tool control software using C language. I started my career teaching C Programming, Micro Processors on Apple 2e computers at Bergen Community college, NJ. Also conducted workshops for gifted & talented kids in Robotics and programming in Basic at Bergen Tech. I think I have a passion for Teaching. I also come from a family of teachers and professors. Education wise I have two masters: One in Physics and one in Computer Science. One of my happiest moments was when I heard my application was still running at Citi Bank even after 15 years and couple of corporation mergers. I look forward to seeing you take part in the course.
