Daniel M

My name is Daniel Mendoza and I am currently studying the MSc in Advanced Software Engineering with Management in the King's College London University. My career started in 2007 working for Texas Instruments. During this time my involvement with major software projects inside the company was very extensive, allowing me to acquire experience in solving complex task. After three years I became Technical Leader of the Backend Team. This position is the one responsible to manage the team in charge of connectivity services and database interaction. Additionally, I was assigned to lead the maintenance and development of the standalone application Computer Link. These projects gave me the opportunity to acquire new knowledge about the Software Development industry and Quality Assurement since many things required my attention, from requirements definition to the sustaining phase, passing through build scripts, localization, GUI, test cases development, software architecture design and more related. My motives to study a Masters are that, in order to reach managerial positions in the software industry, it is needed a set of formal knowledge and skills to handle, in the most competent way, large and complex projects. Therefore, is timely to specialize in this kind of knowledge in order to be prepared for emerging opportunities in the software industry.
