The original system was written in ColdFusion and was directly linked to health-related professions. The goals of the rewrite were primarily to rewrite the system in a more open framework (Zend Framework 2 in PHP) and make maintenance easier. The system should also be left more customizable for other programs so it can be commercialized outside NC State. My team created the base work for the system and wrote the majority of the student side of the project. A subsequent student project was planned to develop the administrative and advising side of the application. ## Skills ### Technical - .NET - .NET Framework - Automation - C - C (Programming Language) - C# - CSS - Elasticsearch - Git - HTML - Java - JavaScript - JSON - Laravel - Linux - Object Oriented Design - OOP - PHP - React - Software Development - Software Engineering - SQL - Test Automation - Testing - TypeScript - XHTML ### Interpersonal - Troubleshooting ### Other - Computer Science - Electronics - Embedded Software - Engineering - Firmware - JUnit - Robotics - Tomcat - Web Applications - Windows ## Credentials - Linux Essentials — Linux Professional Institute (Jan 2017) https://www.lpi.org/our-certifications/linux-essentials-overview - IBM Certified Deployment Professional - Datacap V9.0 — IBM (Dec 2015) https://www-03.ibm.com/certify/certs/27004002.shtml ## Education - **North Carolina State University** — Master of Computer Science, Computer Science (Jan 2013) Activities & Societies: Theta Tau Professional Engineering Fraternity - **North Carolina State University** — Bachelor of Science, Computer Science (Jan 2008 - Jan 2012) Activities & Societies: Theta Tau Professional Engineering Fraternity, Association of Computing Machinery ## Courses - Management Decision and Control Systems - Data Structures - Automata, Grammars, and Computability - C and Software Tools - Elementary Linear Algebra - Software Engineering - Automated Learning and Data Analysis - Design and Analysis of Algorithms - Compiler Construction - Database Management Systems - Graph Theory - Operating Systems Principles - Artificial Intelligence - Game Theory ## Involvement ### Volunteering - St. Baldrick's Foundation (Feb 2012 - Present) Shavee - Road to Hire (Jun 2017 - Oct 2017) Mentor Mentored one of the students in the Road to Hire technology program.
