Experience

Workday - Software Development Engineer

I spent 4 years as an intern and then a software engineer for an enterprise software company called Workday. I was an application developer for the company’s Payroll product. In my time there I worked on wage garnishments, tax elections, quarterly and annual reports, web services, and automation. Some projects I worked on dealt with user functionality, others with code quality. For 2 years I was the performance advocate for my sub-organization of 40 or so workers, and specialized in performance testing, debugging, and optimization. While my education taught me how to code, I credit Workday with teaching me best practices for software engineering and how to work on large-scale projects.

Professional Projects

Civil Software

Civil Software LLC is a software company I started in 2019. Its mission is to improve our democracy through creative new software. Software has changed the way our democracy functions in over the past couple decades, and not always in a positive way. Civil Software is committed to finding those areas where software can help inform and engage voters, while combating the filter bubbles and misinformation that spreads online.

Civil Software’s first project is a web and mobile application called Public Square. Public Square will allow voters to easily discover who their representatives are, how well those representatives are representing them, and what new candidates to keep an eye on, from the federal government down to their local government. Public Square is currently under development, stay tuned.

Noomman

Noomman is an Object-Oriented database manager for nodejs and using mongoDB. Developers provide class model schema to noomman, which then provides easy methods for creating, querying, updating, and deleting data in the database. Unlike other database managers, noomman has an Object-Oriented design pattern, allowing property and method inheritance, and enforcing relationship consistency.

MPEG Bookkeeper

MPEG Bookkeeper is a stand-alone Java application I wrote to help a local engineering firm with their time entry and accounting. It is a relatively simple application written as my first professional project while I was still in school. It takes in excel spreadsheets containing employee hours and expenses information, and outputs other excel spreadsheets aggregating the data by job and project manager. This saves the company’s accountant hours of copy-pasting data from spreadsheet to spreadsheet every week. It’s not the most robust application, but I am proud of it considering where I was in my career. It had 4 years of use before the company switched to a professional solution.

Example Projects

Loan Calculator

This is a simple React application which can be used to calculate the monthly payment, number of months or interest rate necessary to pay off a loan given the rest of the loan information.

Demonstrates basic React proficiency, as well as use of canvasjs to create a simple graph.
