Objective

Looking to be a part of a thriving community of peers that continue to push and challenge me in different ways so that I can grow as an individual and become a more effective team member. I have interests in both frontend and backend development. Ultimately I would like to hone my skills as a developer to transition toward leadership roles. I am also interested in pursuing certifications in my free time if my employer permits.

Experience

Full Stack Developer
Sights On Service Inc. | Golden Valley, MN
Dec 2021 - Present
Developer responsibilities involve maintaining, fixing, and building new features for the company’s platform Secret Shopper. Development tasks involve full-stack solutions, working from the database level all the way to the front-end UI and back. Codebase consists of an Angular front-end with a C# .net Core back-end paired with an Azure deployed SQL database. Github is used to facilitate version control as well as track and review coding tasks. There is constant collaboration with other internal departments to discuss and build new features to further assist in their day-to-day tasks as well as improve end-user experience.

Accomplishments

  • Built a solution to allow per-client instructional documents to be built and edited on the employee app so they may be viewed on the end-user app. This improved consistency between client documents as well as the ease and speed at which instructions can be updated.
  • Created a tool for developers to track background workers and tasks so they can be monitored and optimized if running longer than expected. Used tool to find abnormally long-running tasks and updated them to run upwards of 50% faster.
  • Appointed lead of video production for client and end-user training videos to improve user understanding of the platform. Based on gathered video analytics this will help reduce the number of support communications related to basic site features.
