ABOUT

Hi! My name is Michael Herrera (preferred name Chris). I recently completed an Application Software Development program, earning an associate degree in applied science from South Louisiana Community College. I was also hired as the lab assistant and tutor for the 2024 - 2025 school year.

Through the course of my studies, I have built a proficiency in the Java programming language, with particular emphasis in web application development utilizing the Java Server Faces framework and the PrimeFaces component library. Upon graduation, I will also have experience in C#, C++, CSS, HTML, JavaScript, and SQL languages. In addition to the programming languages, I have developed competence in the fundamentals of database systems, including database modeling and design. With the inclusion of coursework in data structures and algorithms, I am confident my experience has prepared me for a successful start to a career in software development.

Beyond my studies in software development, I have also elected to study mathematics above what is required for my degree. Besides college algebra, I have also completed courses in trigonometry, statistics, and calculus. These courses further strengthen my programming skills, deductive reasoning abilities, and understanding of data and probability.

Now, as I approach the culmination of my academic endeavors, I am enormously excited at the prospect of seeking a position in the fascinating field of software development. I look forward to speaking with you about an opportunity to join your team.
