I also began learning Web Development in high school. I created several different website projects in high school, including an online resume builder web application (resumate.github.io) using HTML/CSS and JavaScript, a redesign of our school website, and a web store using PHP/MySQL. I also worked with the Clark County Government IT Department in Las Vegas, where I redesigned several webpages to be more responsive and accessible and created a custom Wordpress website for our Department of Juvenile Justices. During my co-op with AIS, I have built a knowledge portal web application and data visualization GUI. I also updated a testing platform using AngularJS.

I began learning JavaScript in high school. I created an online resume builder web application (resumate.github.io) as a personal challenge to build a project strictly using JavaScript without any plug ins. Then in college, I worked at a yearlong co-op where I built another web application, which was a knowledge base/query, and I used React to build the interface and Node.js for the server and functionality. I also gained some experience with AngularJS during my work at JP Morgan.

During my co-op with AIS, I created an object-oriented GUI for a test automation software using the Dash Library in Python. I also worked on the broader test automation software and implemented a process for a client to query the result of its installation request from the server using the Twisted framework in Python. I worked on several other small bugs and ticket items during this co-op.

The coursework at my university was primarily taught using Java, particularly Data Structures. During my program at JP Morgan, I used Java to develop 3 microservices to help facilitate internal token authentication and data retrieval. Each microservice was both a client and a server, which was implemented using Spring Boot. The microservices also used a combination of Factory and Builder design patterns. In addition, I developed unit tests for my work, which helped improve code quality.
