PROFILE

I am a fluently bilingual (French & English) SAP certified senior ABAP/4 consultant. I live in Canada's national capital region. I hold a valid Canadian government secret security clearance. I have more than seven years of hands on SAP programming experience and over ten years of technical support experience. All of my assignments have demanded excellent interpersonal and communications skills. I enjoy programming because it allows me to think "out of the box".
