My Software and Writing Portfolio! (. . . and a little more)

by Mark Lindquist

OBJECTIVE:
I am seeking to join an organization in hopes of applying my many years of acquired experience to help this organization grow and foster a competitive advantage.
PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY:
Eager, dependable, devoted, And punctual- MSIT
SKILLS:
I started out in 1995 learning XML and HTML and have now advanced to Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) and implementation (Java). I have gained experience of many software technologies along the way. My skills start with Java, CSS3, PHP, JavaScript, Photoshop, Drupal 7, MySQL, and more. I have also developed a very proficient writing style for writing about technical issues.
EDUCATION:
Capella University, Minneapolis, MN
MSIT-Masters in Information Technology
Major: Enterprise Software Architecture – G.P.A. 4.0
American Inter-Continental University, Hoffman Estates, IL
BIT-Bachelor of Information Technology
Major: Programming - G.P.A. 4.0
Boston University, Tyngsboro Ma.
Certificate in Web Design
EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE:
I have been at this endeavour for over 20 years and I have created websites that have outlived their usefullness and have been discontinued. I acquired a Master's degree in Information Technology (IT) from Capella U in Minnesota. This is where my real experience comes from, gaining experience from small individual sites that the person or organization has discontinued. There are many examples but only in memory as these very real sites has given me an exceptional creative experience.

My real experience is my process of learning the tools for creating websites. The tools listed above, under Skills, I have thoroughly learned while creating small websites and snippets of code. I am ready to use that experience to help create software. Through rigorous hands-on training, in school and on my own, I have gained the knowledge and know-how to help with any organizational software project. I have been employed as a Drupal developer and Word Press developer, but it is my passion for Java and the design of Object-Oriented Systems, utilizing Design Patterns, which I can be of most help. Of course my web design skills are superb as well.

Frankly I don't want to work for myself anymore. I want to join a software development organization and apply every ounce of skill I have learned to achieve an exceptional product, weather it be Web development or Java implementation.
