SELECTED TECHNICAL SKILLS SET
I have attended trainings in various areas in computing including; Proficient use of data entry and analysis tools (including: STATA, SPSS, MatLab, Minitab), Microsoft office, and application development in C++, Ruby on rails, and also familiar with scripting environments for PHP, and python. I have interacted also with database environments that utilize both formats SQL and NoSQL for Big Data handling including Couchbase, and web development using html (version 5) and management using Content management systems like Joomla and Drupal. In the previous time, I have worked and explored various other life skills and IT areas with TATA-TCS in using Linq Database languages with ASP.NET & C# (MVC, MVP,) and Windows SharePoint for automating organization workflow.
