I am seeking a challenging and engaging career in software development. Something that keeps my interest and rewards my efforts. I love working with software that goes along with hardware. Being able to control harware using software gives me a lot of joy. I am looking for a place where I can challenge myself and others as a software engineer and be able to enrich myself along the way.
I'm right at the last leg of completing my pilots license and would like to encorporate this into my career some day. I have dreams, but will need to do more planning before those can be accomplished.
The company I end up at will be a comfortable environment where I feel free to share my ideas. The place I go will be growing company with a hopeful future. The company will be directed by those who think progressively. It will be a place that has a grasp on how to run a project and not have week after week of forced overtime. It will be a place that understands the wants and needs of their employees and has the desire to seek them out.
