Hi! I'm currently a senior graduating in Spring 2018 from CSUN with a B.S. in Computer Science. I highly enjoy living in the development world and have a wide variety of experiences. While my current degree is coming to a close, I truly believe in continued education and continue to seek new technologies and methods to better myself and my productions. I have experience in multiple large scale projects, in both school and industry, and have learned the ability to excellently troubleshoot and solve problems in a timely and cost effective manner. I believe in meaningful design and the beauty of aesthetics, and have found my past design experiences beneficial in almost every aspect of development. Keep scrolling to see my specific skills!
I worked alongside a team of software engineers to develop for and on an embedded semiconductor test platform. My lead project was a new automated testing service to gather test coverage metrics for Windows and embedded testing.
I spent my semester abroad in a mentorship at a local Munich software development company. There, I worked in conjunction with two other students to develop an Android application that enables insurance employees to facilitate work related travel and expenditure.
Every park needs love, which is where I come in! Recreation Centers are responsible in providing community outreach, programming for the neighborhood, as well as general park maintenance. As a recreation assistant, I wear many hats!. I have been responsible for the coordination of youth sports programs of over 70 players and youth camps with over 130 campers, as well as supervised 30 staff members.
GPA: 3.26
Besides sitting hunched behind a screen, I am an avid adventurist. I love the outdoors and am often found somewhere new. If you really want to hear me talk, just ask about my experiences abroad. While saving money for my next adventure, I can be found playing volleyball, watching mediocre Nicholas Cage films, or reading anything fiction. Currently I'm reading through the Harry Potter novels to celebrate my graduation to adulthood!
My biggest interests in the STEM world are aeronautics and one day hope to work on the embedded systems sending humans out into the great beyond. I highly enjoy developing for web because it allows me to truly express my inner designer.
Led a team of five students in the design and development of a windows application that allows students to design optimal four-year graduation plans. This project was developed for a Software Engineering Principles course and was fully functional but not complete. It lacked a usable GUI but offered a fully functional algorithm written by yours truly to schedule courses in a meaningful manner. The biggest difficulties our team faced was getting course information with necessary prerequisites. This was done by manually transcribing course information for the entirety of the Computer Science catalog.
CSUN currently has a big problem in getting students to graduate in four years, especially with STEM degrees. Built as a capstone project with input from the Computer Science Department Chair and various professors, Four Years answers this problem. As a continuation of the MatadorAccess system, Four Years is a smarter application built with the student in mind. Prospective and current students will be able to more effectively schedule their entire college career with inputs from their work schedules and course difficulties.
I built my own website to best showcase my skills and more importantly myself. I want to better interact with potential employers and truly display my interests, which cannot be easily done in a traditional resume.
In this project I helped a private client build a website to fulfill their private practice needs, such as advertising their out-patient programs and sharing their upcoming workshop information. This project was the most design centric project I had been responsible for at the time, which allowed me to make use of some very important UX design principles.
Visit!A website for CSUN ACM, the local chapter of the Assocation of Computing Machinery. This website helps the club reach more members and display some vital member information such event details and how to contact officers. I built the entire website from scratch. This was my first web development, which was an interesting (frustrating) experience. I learned a lot about the importance of mobile-first development from this project because of the user base of this website. Most students will be checking this website on the fly through their phone and therefore need a smooth experience.
