CV: 6. Gaming, Telecommunications, Military, Non-Finance C++ Developer

Subject: Gaming, Telecommunications, Military, Non-Finance C++ Developer

The role caught my immediate attention and the brief description sounds very attractive. For my development, in 90% cases I use Java now however in previous roles c++ and/or c# were languages of choice so I have experience with those. I also have experience with finance from a non-software development point of view - I actively trade the stock market and understand effective trading strategies.

Please review my CV (attached) and match it against the role's requirements.


with kind regards
Pawel Magnowski
