I Am A . . .


Computer Engineering student at Texas A&M University

Minor in Cyber Security - Class of 2019



Software Engineer

I thrive on projects that challenge what I know and which encourage me to master what I don't. From my past work and internship experiences, I have gained invaluable tools and understanding that I apply to each project I take on.



Communicator

I have great customer service and communication experience through my time at the Texas A&M Division of Student Affairs IT Service Desk. I am able to network, communicate clearly, and create rapport with customers. This also comes with strong technical communication skills. I am able to clearly convey goals and technical specifications to a group of users/customers with a broad range of technical experience.



Leader

When working in teams, I love leading and seeing the project start from nothing to becoming a full-fledged product. I truly believe that if the team is working well, then the project will take care of itself. To that end, I always work to ensure that my team is operating at its best, no matter what my role is. Everyone has the capacity to be a leader, in any role.

Experience

My time as a developer.

  • 2015-Current

    Started Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University

    I started studying Computer Engineering because of the real life applications that the field addressed. I appreciated the complex problem solving and the comradarie between students. I will graduate December 2019 with a B.S. in Computer Engineering and a Minor in Cyber Security.

  • September 2016 - April 2019

    Started work at the A&M Division of Student Affairs IT Service Desk

    I developed strong interpersonal and communcation skills with hundreds of hours of customer contact by fielding calls and assisting customers with systems and account troubleshooting, and system setups and deployment. I also shortened the setup process of Macintosh computers from an hour to just under 10 minutes by writing an automation script.

  • May 2018

    Software Dev with Oceus Networks.

    My first internship. I learned a lot about software developement and gained exposure to technologies like Python, Golang, Postman and more. I shortened the staging of company telecom units by an hour by developing a suite of configuration management tools that enabled users to save and apply settings.

  • April 2019

    Won 3rd Place at Aggies Invent

    My team of 4 raced from Friday night to Sunday afternoon to develop a marketable solution to help people with neurodegenerative diseases. We came up with a concept and prototype that helped steady the hands of people with tremors and worked with common household objects like spoons and hairbrushes.

  • May 2019

    Software Dev with Kinder Morgan

    Greatly eased gas transaction troubleshooting by developing an network graphing application to graph the transactions and their connections. Improved documentation procedures by introducing autodocumentation with Sandcastle. Eased on-call troubleshooting by implementing a search engine with Solr to search through past emails (containing fixes) sent between the on-call team and customers.
