Bachelor's - Industrial and Systems Engineering

Industrial and Systems Engineering is not the typical path for software developers. I found that learning the business side of my future career was equally as important as learning the technical side. The efficiency optimization and data management aspects contribute directly to my workflow process and help keep me on track.

During my time at Bandwidth, I have created a caching database for an API used to send automated text messages. I helped create a Spring application to run regular jobs that ensured the database was accurate. I wrote GitHub Actions to automate the deployment of the Spring application and database. I developed React pages and components that allow the end user to track their current leases and short code information.

I was part of a 12-person intern team tasked with completing a consulting project over the summer. The team used Agile methodology to complete our goals, and I took on the role of a back-end developer. We developed an API using Spring Boot to handle user requests and interface with Amazon image recognition and the database. This experience solidified my preference for back-end development.

I was a member of RAD - Rapid Application Development - at GDIT. My current role was to implement quality of life changes to our HR portal. This involved weekly meetings with our HR team to update goals for our subcontractors. The system I worked on used GitHub to collaborate on an application deployed using Grails and predominantly written in Groovy. At the end of my summer internship, I was allowed to work remotely during the school year.
