Senior Programmer Analyst

I worked from home for this California company, proving that I am self-motivated and can work well remotely. Many times I took the initiative to develop software solutions that are still being used to reduce costs. These applications were not part of my assigned duties. One such application that I proposed was creating a web application that reduced the number of client licenses for an electronic document application that the company needed. This innovation saved the company thousands of dollars a year in software licensing.
