I am a Backend Engineer with a degree in Computer Science with Minors in Business and Cybersecurity from Texas A&M University. I specialize in building resilient web systems using Java and Python but also have experience leveraging AWS, APIs, and databases.
While working here, I focused on Back End development for Adobe Experience Manager utilizing Java, OSGi, Apache, JavaScript, and HTML. I developed automatic reporting tools for regulatory compliance and auditing purposes, and spearheaded the development on a new custom analytics engine for targeted traffic reporting on a component specific level. I also utilized Jenkins to provide a continuous integration service in order to automate the entire process of loading the latest build code and test files, and running the tests.
During my software engineering internship at JP Morgan Chase, I built a MVP product with a group of interns using React and Flask which were connected using a RESTful API. In this role, I was the lead backend engineer in my intern group cohort, where I taught my fellow interns how to build a Json API endpoint using flask. I also taught them how to use tools like Postman to view the request payload and response.
During my software engineering internship at ENGIE, I focused my time on helping the digital division through creating code that could be utilized for their API's, as well as their databases, and their reporting software with the correct integration with the servers. The data automation which we worked on would allow for the creation of daily reports, as well as monthly in depth reviews of the different power plants.
While working at Penngo, I was able to work on many aspects of the overall business. From client account management, to code creation and maintenance, and finally to brand design and artistic designer. My position consisted of being able to manage the technical aspect of website maintenance, as well as the personal aspect as I had to communicate with clients and other developers with updates as they were achieved. This position allowed me to both exercise my technical skills, but also my interpersonal skills, as well as my managerial skills, as I was in charge of keeping a team of developers updated with changes and updates that needed to take place.
While working as a student technician at my university, I was able to learn a lot about hardware and its integration with software as it relates to a large enterprise. I was able to make changes in both the classrooms, as well as the workshop to make the necessary changes in order to fix machines.
As an administrative assistant intern, I was exposed to my first office environment and starting to grasp how the business world functions. At this job, I filed paperwork, input data into the company database, as well as manipulated data using Excel. I also translated documents, and aided in the overall office functions.

Using online tutorials and many other online sources, I was able to learn how to use the Django framework to create a blog-style web app. My plans are to expand the utility and create something a lot more useful by integrating companies and paid communication.
I have always liked creating websites, especially because when you create front-end code, you can very quickly see it in action and can see what you have accomplished. The goal of this website was to portray what I have done in the form of a website, as well as my resume and projects.
I have always enjoyed video games, but one day I decided that I would start development of my own game. I used the Game Make Studio program and I created a lot of simple and more complex games using that engine. I want to peruse this hobby even further when the time allows me, and even publish my game.
This project was part of my general engineering curriculum, in which we had to read a barcode and with the information we received sort a pile of marbles and dispense the correct amount. My role in this project was software, with my main function being to prototype and test out new ways to increase the efficiency of what we were already doing.
When I am not coding...
When I am not working or at school, I like to spend time with my family and travel wherever I can. My favorite spot thus far has to be the beaches of Portugal.
When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I am an aspiring chef, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest and greatest cars that have been released by my favorite automaker, particularly what they improve with the overall technology.
