  Conestoga Wood Specialties

  Mar 2011 - Aug 2014

  At Conestoga Wood Specialties, I had my first exposure to the IT field. Over a series of summers, I found my niche in the Information Systems (IS) department as an Associate IT Technician. Organizing cables, installing software, fixing simple hardware issues, and assisting in network troubleshooting were just a few of my responsibilities. My greatest achievement was using open source Digital Signage software to create an intriguing lobby screen for visitors at the front office. My first position at Conestoga Wood Specialties was acting as an assistant to the staff in the Human Resources (HR) department. My responsibilities primarily included filing and organizing paperwork and information storage and manipulation using Microsoft Office products

  The Collaboratory for Strategic Partnerships and Applied Research

  Mar 2014 - May 2017

  Engineering Intern

  Messiah's Collaboratory is a student-run organization that allows students to use their majors to solve real world problems. My team, Wireless Enabled Remote Co-presence (WERCware), was in the process of building a system that allows people with cognitive and social disorders to be able to function on their own. Anytime the client encountered a potentially stressful situation, a life coach was remotely linked in via a smartphone to assess the situation and calm the client.This project helped me gain experience in Matlab, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Fast Fourier Tranforms (FFT), WEKA, and Java.

  KSM Technology Partners

  Jun 2017 - Apr 2024

  I joined KSM as a tester for their automated testing application called Toffee (https://get.toffeetesting.io/). With assistance from fellow team members, I started writing regression tests to test Toffee, and eventually moved into front-end development for it. This involved learning the React.js framework and gave me the opportunity to develop several webpages for Toffee's front-end. I also began taking on new responsibilities related to packaging and running Toffee in a Docker compose stack. I worked with two other interns to develop a Cash Flow Prediction tool written entirely in Javascript, HTML, and CSS. The web application pulled expense and income data from Google Sheets and rendered graphical and tabular outputs using Chartjs and Datatables. Changes to the data could be saved to Google Sheets as a new sheet or exported locally as a CSV file.

  PJM Interconnection

  Jan 2018 - Apr 2024

  Contractor

  A few months after joining KSM Technology Partners, I was contracted as a Java Developer to PJM Interconnection, a Regional Transmission Operator (RTO) responsible for coordinating the movement of wholesale electricity in the bulk electric grid. My primary responsibilities were to maintain and enhance existing Java EE web applications used in billing, reporting, real-time energy market settlements, and internal energy transactions. I used software such as Java EE, PrimeFaces, Jboss, TestNG, and Mockito to develop and test intuitive solutions to meet the business's needs. I also gained experience in the Agile Methodology with task management in JIRA, daily standup meetings, and sprint retrospectives. Show less
