Programming language fluency allows me to navigate conversations with developers, enabling me to communicate requirements and read any raw code to understand how a program will function. My first introduction to programming was during my university studies in engineering. We used the C programming language primarily, but also did projects in Fortran and in applications such as MATLAB. Later during my computer science studies, I learned C++, Java, SQL to name a few. Other than learning how to sit still for hours and lose track of time, an important skill learned during my university studies was understanding how to navigate between different programming languages.
Because my job title has never been Software Developer or Software Engineer, I will gladly declare that I am not a programmer. However, as an IT Consultant with broad responsibilities, I have occasionally edited code from the development environment for projects in SharePoint, VBA, SQL Server and most recently, Python, to complete project work.

However, as an IT Consultant with broad capabilities, I have occasionally written short programs or edited code from the development environment for projects in SharePoint, Excel VBA, Hyperion, SQL Server and most recently, Python.
