I enrolled to Sacramento State as a Mechanical Engineering major, however, I realized after my first semester that it was not the right major for me. While I knew I wanted to do something in STEM, I was unsure of exactly what at that time.
At Dynamisoft, I have had major opportunities to grow as a developer. First, I have been tasked with converting ADO stored procedures written in Visual Basic 6 to C# to improve performance in our WMS software, megaTrak. Another major project that I helped develop was an integration between megaTrak, Shopify, and Onfleet. This solved a major problem for one of our clients by streamlining communication between all three apps. Previously, data integrations were manual and tedious. After deployment, the client both benefited from seamless data integration and was able to integrate these third-parties with megaTrak to leverage its warehousing features. Overall, my work at Dynamisoft has been instrumental in advancing my knowledge in the world of API integrations and microservices.
At Wizrds LLC, a Mister Waverly Company, I increased my knowledge of web development and mainly utilized the MERN web stack. When I designed the server-side code of the company website, I used PHP to create a notification system that sent client project requests to the company email. I also was tasked with creating a desktop app that utilized the Twilio API for sending SMS messages. When I left the company, that project became my own to share. Navigate to "My Work" to learn more.
I was hired as an intern at Mister Waverly Incorporated to assist in a web app project for a non-profit. I provided assistance for the server-side application, writing different REST API routes for the React.js app to call. Some of the endpoints I wrote included blog post searching, event calendar retrieval, and blog comment modification/deletion.
Originally, when I worked at Wizrds LLC, I developed this project for a client. However, the needs of the client changed, allowing me to make this open source. This desktop app lets a user utilize the Twilio API to send SMS messages on their PC.
When I took an upper division data structures and algorithms university course, I decided to create a visualization of the DFS algorithm using a maze editor. I recently improved the app and have deployed it on this site.
I have written several pieces on topics within software development on the Medium platform.
Atoms is a flexible and atomic .NET Core ORM for SQL Server that I was motivated to develop to make common CRUD operations more simple and elegant.
