Work Experience

  I was a member of the Transactions Core team. My role was to improve the customer experience with Quickbooks Online (QBO). This included bug fixes and story development in the core codebase. By the end of my co-op, I was able to bring a real impact to the organization. I lead training classes on our automation testing framework and helped kill manual regression testing. I implemented a notifications feature on the main dashboard.

• Process Computing Co-op,

  At AK Steel, I was a member of the Blast Furnace Process Control Team. My job was to take an outdated web application and rebuild it from the ground up using modern tools and technology. I started this project by setting up a new windows server virtual machine. Afterwards I set up the back-end framework for the web application using PHP to connect to an oracle database. Then I designed the front-end using bootstrap and jQuery. Because this was such a big project, I was unable to finish in my time with AK Steel, but I provided the necessary documentation so that the next developer can pick up from where I left off.

  I was part of the Enterprise Architecture Team working on Self Service Analytics and the Toyota Data Center Migration. In Self Service Analytics, my goal was to turn ordinary users into citizen data scientists by giving them the resources and training to effectively analyze and present data in an easy to understand format. The main tools I used for this are Microsoft PowerBI and R for data analysis, and Microsoft SharePoint for distribution of knowledge. For the Data Center Migration, I was an assistant project manager to Tim Holman. I helped out with keeping the project on track and making sure all applications were migrated on time.
