Work

Sabre|Quality Assurance Developer Intern|May 2018 - August 2018

  • Developed a Spring Boot RESTful Web Service to automate pulling of historical error occurrences from database. Information is displayed with results of automated tests to help determine severity of errors produced during testing.
    • API was developed in Java, using multithreading and connection pooling to ensure proper stability and scalability as tool utilization increases over time.
    • Utilization of this tool significantly decreases time needed for error analysis, helping to ensure stability and proper performance in software releases.
  • Collaborated with international teams to ensure proper functionality and hosting of tool to be used for test reporting.
  • Developed a social media business case to be judged by company executives in an Intern Case Competition.
    • Worked with an intern team of developers, financial analyst, human resources, and business operations to develop a case detailing implementation, cost, and return on investment over a five-year period.
    • Competed against two other social media teams to advance round 1 of judging by company employees.
    • Won 1st place & People’s Choice Award in final round, judged by company executives, against three other teams.

Kumon of Plano-Shepherd|Instructor|May 2016 - August 2017

  • Tutored students ages 4-16 in developing math and reading comprehension skills to help advance their academic ability and interests.
  • Led implementation of student & employee check-in process, optimizing efficiency and accountability.

About Me

As a computer science student at the University of Texas at Dallas, I'm always on the look out for changes in the technology field. My projects outside of standard school coursework are usually inspired from anything that interests me, let it be the news of the day, or something I come across while walking about. I believe in doing things that interest you, or finding a way to make what you are working on interesting, and by doing that, I always have a strong interest in any project I take up.
