About Me

Student at Oregon State University and team lead for an 8-person team building modern workflow software for clients and their customers.

Experience

Center for Applied Systems and Software

Student Developer, Mentor

I lead an 8-student developer and analyst team modernizing the Oregon State Construction Contractor Board's (OSCCB) licensing application, review, and management procedure. Before the OSCCB project started, I worked directly with our clients at OSCCB and senior CASS staff to understand/document their current workflow then work with the client to architect a new flow.

As a mentor, I spend time with fellow employees and encourage their growth both personally and professionally.

I primarily work with: .NET Core c#, SQL, and XUnit while using agile methodologies.

Center for Applied Systems and Software

Student Developer

I spearheaded improvement and client relations for USDA fruit breeding and planning software. After the initial planning, I lead the 3-student team on improvements to that software as well as a variety of Oregon State University software maintenance projects.

Initially, I was trained by solo developming an Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) ticketing program designed to allow technicians to create repair orders for various ODOT devices in a simplified fashion.
