"I love solving problems. I have a very analytical mind and a razor-sharp high attention to detail. In my last development position, I was responsible for front-line communications with end users. Third-tier helpdesk staff would contact me with software bugs, and I was able to quickly and professionally respond to problems. I was able to reduce the bug backlog by 70%."
