I was an Associate Software Engineer on the Growth team, which gave me the opportunity to contribute to multiple aspects of the product. I worked collaboratively with fellow engineers, designers and other stakeholders within the company to solve problems for our customers. I worked primarily in React and Redux, but also did some backend work in PHP. My team did A/B testing with LaunchDarkly flags and tracking to assess how changes we made affected user behavior. I also wrote unit tests with Jest and Enzyme.Many of my bigger projects involved the onboarding process for new customers, and finding ways to make the process more streamlined and user-friendly.

I worked collaboratively with instructors and staff to support Prime students. I was responsible for grading student work and providing specific and actionable feedback. I assisted students by answering questions both in person and online. I lead occasional lectures and lead by example of what a Prime alumnus should know and how one should behave.

I worked on mobile and web app development. This included fixing bugs and creating new features. I took ownership of the reporting feature of the app, including how the reporting worked and the design of the reports users would download.

While at Prime, I had the opportunity to work on two projects. The first was my solo project, Streamlet. The second was a group project called GrowLog for a local non-profit, Page and Flowers.Streamlet is a full stack web application allowing users to search for shows and movies that are streaming on multiple platforms at once. This is a solution to the problem of needing to search all platforms individually, or use a search that is not user friendly. It can be viewed here: http://shielded-tor-57204.herokuapp.com/GrowLog is a full stack, mobile-friendly web application allowing users to track activities on their farm. They needed to be able to track the activity to single seeds, and this application simplifies this process. It allows users to add tasks that need to be completed, communicate issues, and create reports. It streamlines communication between workers and volunteers, and eliminates the need for double-entering information off of scraps of paper.Prime teaches the MEAN stack. There is an emphasis on both soft and hard skills, with the soft skills coming from Toastmasters, supplemental lectures, and other similar activities.My goal while at Prime was to learn the skills necessary to get an entry level position as a software engineer, being able to contribute to a team.

I began as a contract employee, providing support to various departments, including Accounting and Human Resources. When the position of payroll clerk unexpectedly opened up, I took on the responsibility while management went through the process of hiring a full-time replacement. I was hired as a full-time employee in December of 2013, as an Administrative Assistant to fill the vacancy I had been helping with. In that role, I was responsible for entering payroll on a daily basis, and entering information for job costing. I also continued to assist other departments when necessary, and helped train in new administrative assistants. I was head of a committee in charge of distributing charitable giving funds to local organizations.In March of 2015, I became the assistant to the Production Manager. In addition to the responsibilities I had as an Administrative Assistant, I also would assist with postings, helping employees fill out forms, arrange meetings, work with vendors, and track vacation and absences. I helped Wells Concrete implement a digital time clock system, ensuring that the information gathered by the time clocks matched the hours that the employees worked, and adhered to the various union contract rules for the employees.

I was hired at Caribou Coffee's Support Center store as a team member, where I provided customer service, ran the cash register, made drinks, and restocked merchandise. After two months, I was promoted to Shift Supervisor. In that role, I would create and pursue shift and store goals, work with my management team to train in new hires, field guest complaints and questions, provide answers and feedback for staff in Caribou's Support Center and lead shift teams in their development.

As a Processor, I would create personal productivity goals with the help of the management team, work with others in order to meet store and shift goals, make decisions about merchandise to carry and how much to charge, and remain knowledgeable of current styles, brands and prices.

As an Associate at Cub Foods, I mainly worked in the Deli, but would help in other departments when needed. I would assist customers with questions and concerns. I also would maintain a clean and organized work environment, following state and local regulations for food safety. I prepared food in advance and to order, and kept merchandise stocked.

As a barista at this local coffee shop, I would assist customers effectively in a fast-paced environment. I would run the cash register, make drinks and food, clean the sitting area, and ensure that the store looked presentable. Additionally, I worked on special projects when necessary, including helping set up and tear down for concerts held at the store.

At this local coffee shop/restaurant, I would assist in answering customer questions and concerns, restocking and cleaning during slow times, provide a high level of attention to detail when taking orders, delegate extra work when necessary, and run shifts on the weekends.

I was hired by Arc as a Cashier, where I would maintain a clean and safe environment for employees and shoppers, merchandise sales floor, communicate with customers over the phone and in person, and provide effective and friendly customer service. I was later promoted to Production Assistant. While I would still assist with Cashier duties when needed, I also sorted through donations, trained in volunteers, and worked on special projects when asked.

I worked with two Political Science professors, Dr. Hoffman and Dr. High-Pippert by coding and writing summaries for transcripted focus group data. This information was used by the professors to write a paper that would later be published in "Energy Policy".
