K-State

Programming is an ever expanding field, that I am excited to say I am a part of. I have finished my degree at K-State Polytechnic where I have been studying Java, PHP, CSS3, HTML5, and C#. I have used different IDE’s such as Eclipse, JGrasp, Brackets,Dreamweaver, and Microsoft Visual Studio. The framework I use for web design is Bootstrap.

I have done multiple small projects such as a “stat finder” website that uses the JSON API to retrieve stats from a video game site and relay it on my site, from another version of that stat finder site using C#/.NET built in MVC framework.

I worked on a final group project for Kansas State Polytechnic that will revamp their current system. We worked in groups to create a CRM system to keep track of their students, organize their database, and track all of their data. I also have experience in design and have worked with Photoshop, In-design, and Illustrator.

Lending Standard

After graduating from K-State, I took an internship at a start-up company called Lending Standard, where I worked on Software development. I was exposed to many new technologies, IDE's and Frameworks. Some of these include Intelli J IDEA, Groovy, Grails, ExtJS and MongoDb.

​I​ ​work close​ ​with​ ​a​ ​team​ ​of​ ​developers​ ​both​ ​on​ ​the​ ​front-end​ ​and​ ​back-end.​ ​I​ ​have​ ​currently​ ​been adding​ ​UI​ ​features​ ​on​ ​the​ ​Lending​ ​Standard​ ​single-page​ ​web​ ​application,​ ​using​ ​ExtJS​ ​and​ ​MVC architecture​ ​to​ ​create​ ​models,views,controllers,​ ​and​ ​stores.​ ​​ ​I​ ​have​ ​also​ ​been​ ​using​ ​JSON, setting​ ​JS​ ​variables​ ​to​ ​JSON​ ​parameters​ ​on​ ​the​ ​front-end​ ​and​ ​passing​ ​them​ ​to​ ​a​ ​Groovy controller​ ​to​ ​handle​ ​data​ ​requests​ ​on​ ​the​ ​backend​ ​to​ ​update​ ​the​ ​database.

I​ ​have​ ​been​ ​using​ ​MongoDB/HeidiSQL​ ​to​ ​test/update​ ​data.​ ​I​ ​use​ ​Git​ ​for​ ​version​ ​control, staging,​ ​committing,​ ​pushing,​ ​pulling​ ​and​ ​merging​ ​to​ ​different​ ​branches.​ I​ ​complete​ ​my​ ​tasks assigned​ ​to​ ​me​ ​on​ ​JIRA,​ ​where​ ​I​ ​move​ ​through​ ​the​ ​task​ ​lifecycle,​ ​creating​ ​a​ ​task,​ ​working​ ​on​ ​a task,​ ​testing​ ​the​ ​task​ ​on​ ​our​ test ​server,​ ​then​ ​moving​ ​task​ ​to​ ​be​ ​deployed​ ​on​ ​production server.

I have also been exposed to Agile practices such as JIRA, a bug tracking, issue tracking, and general project management tool, Jenkins, a open-source continuous integration software that allows for trigger based automation of testing and builds.

While working at LendingStandard I took part in ​code​ ​reviews​, daily developer stand up meetings​ ​and​ company ​meetings.

Who I Am

I believe in putting everything I am into everything I do. I am reliable, dependable and always looking to grow as a developer and learn as much as possible.

I have been sharpening my javascript skills, by using ExtJS and Currently I am learning ReactJS to make this website more efficient.

I enjoy art and photography as a hobby.
