      Software Developer

      I worked as a part of a small team developing chipcard technologies for the global market. Working in the Perso/Production Team, I dealt with a mix of high- and low- level programming. Writing scripts for SIM cards in order to comply with the GSM and ISO specifications involved thorough research and coding file systems at a very low level. Many of the software tools used by Prism were written and maintained in-house, which gave me real world exposure to C# .NET programming and MVVM architecture.
