designated APH staff, and CTS staff when requested.

practices.

projects is also highly desirable. 

Must be a quick study and be able to learn new languages, systems, and
technologies such as speech synthesis and screen readers.

Demonstrate (with code) projects successfully completed showing high level
of judgment, analytical ability, and creativity in getting job done.

Experience in writing software that runs on multiple platforms and software
written in a highly flexible manner so that it may be used for more than one
purpose is very desirable.

Experience in contributing to open-source projects is desirable.

experience and skills required in an environment of rapidly changing
priorities.
