- Developed reusable web components using React and Javascript to support multiple client-facing single-page applications.
- Supported full-stack application development across several projects for the Federal government; most recently, on HealthCare.gov.
- Utilized technologies such as Node.js, PHP, Java EE, and Angular.js.
- Led a team of 4 developers.
- Worked with another intern to design and implement a web-based application using Java EE.
- Underwent code reviews and worked with professionals in order to ensure quality code, learn about programming best practices, and follow the software development life cycle.
- Developed style sheets and templates for a content management system.
- Helped to debug systems developed by other programmers.
Education
Bachelor of Science, Computer Science
After completing the basic courses, my electives were around applying core concepts to more complex problems, such as:
- Building a web application to search for low-priced textbooks by integrating information from multiple external web services
- Designing and prototyping a wearable interface for mobile phones using an Android phone and Bluetooth-linked sensors
Master of Science, Information Systems
Information Systems focuses on how people use technology to solve problems. Many of my classes were research-based, where I worked in small groups with other students to complete a research study. Research topics of note included:
- Studying "trustworthiness" trends of social media posts from politicians
- Effectiveness of implementing federated search
- Understanding how groups of developers on GitHub use open source tools to convey awareness
