I’m currently part of a small team of 3, building, enhancing, and maintaining multiple internal applications simultaneously.

I’m most proud of a crucial data integration between Taleo and Oracle that the company uses daily for all new hires and internal transfers.

I was a front end developer using Angular 2, TypeScript, and C# to build a site for customers to view realtime data. One of my key accomplishments was to build the front end of the site’s customized graphing tool using HighCharts.

Fun fact: When I joined the team, there were only 4 members, so I was able to take on a range of responsibilities from Project Management to OSI PI Administration.

I successfully created a POC, creating a toolbar within Microsoft Powerpoint that automatically created credit approval package reports with a click of a button. I used VBA and Java to pull from public APIs and internal databases, reducing what used to be a manual process that took hours to mere minutes.

Our curriculum was primarily based on C++, C#, and Java. I took classes on all the essentials, including Data Structures and Algorithms, Databases (using SQL), and Operating Systems. My favorite classes were Software Design, where we learned about Design Patterns and best practices, and Application Design and Entrepreneurship, where we created a start up, interviewed potential customers, and pitched our ideas, following the Lean Canvas business model.
