Developed new model for testing web components on an integration level, based on layers of testing, componentizing testing, and maintaining a clear distinction between different levels of the ShadowDOM.Identified problems with a fragile integration test ecosystem and advocated for Integration Test Writers to write tests in a scalable, flexible, and DOM agnostic way.Pioneered cross-platform engineering rotation program. Worked with full-stack team to make queries more performant, solve caching problems, and solve accessibility problems.

Built, released, and maintained accessible, usable, performant, and high-quality web components, using Javascript ES6, a proprietary front-end framework, HTML, CSS, and Sass.Documented and created code that is easy to understand and maintain across the team.Provided support for internal customers, and escalating customer concerns to product.Allowed Design System components to be used in multiple base font size environments, allowing bridge between old and new UIs, increasing likelihood of enterprise customers to upgrade.Collaborated with a team of engineers to allow applications and web components to be themeable by building a robust, scalable, and performant theming system based in CSS, earning internal awards. Theming system allows customers to brand enterprise white label software in all aspects: scale, spacing, colors, look, and feel, while still receiving the scale benefits of a design system, including dark mode.Worked with design and a font specialist to implement a variable version of the Lato font which solves existing cross-browser accessibility problems.Lead developer for integrating JS Karma-based front end testing framework with Java Selenium-based integration testing framework on the Design System team.

Tested web components in a new Design System; collaborated with developers and designers to create flexible, responsive, and robust web components that would serve our internal and external customer needs. Validated web components based on a proprietary front-end framework, facilitating the development of the framework with the platform team and smoothing later development by our internal developers.Involved in creation of test plans, test cases, and test execution of web components and D3 data visualizations.Developed extensions on current testing software to accurately test components within the ShadowDOM.Worked with international team to test D3 timeseries data visualization library for our enterprise developers.Brought components up to WCAG 2.0 guidelines [compatible with screen readers, ARIA, various levels of color-sightedness], developed accessibility strategy for data visualization library.Created Sample Applications similar to our enterprise product in order to test components in context, with data feeding and responsive tests.Performed Functional, Negative, Smoke, and Regression tests as per design specs.Followed Iterative and Incremental Agile - Scrum Methodology for rapidly changing or highly emergent requirements and following parallel development and testing.

Analyzed spatial data through the use of mapping software, primarily with ESRI ArcGIS.Discovered patterns and trends through spatial mapping of data, allowing for increased accuracy in hydrological planning.Designed digital maps with geographic data and other data sources, including sensor arrays allowing for real time representation of data, created custom shapefiles for clients.Converted physical maps into a digital form for computer usage.Produced reports on geographic data utilizing data visualizations, both for consumption of engineers and for the public.

Taught challenging principles of physics, assisted professors with lessons.Guided group learning with class of 72 students in an intermediate level course.Evaluated student coursework.

Worked under engineers to perform a variety of engineering tasks, including: Integrating as-builds into GIS systems;Writing a 5-Year Master Plan, grant proposals, and easement/licensing documents; Evaluating customer needs and planning future recycled water lines.

Worked for two summers, not rest of school year.Developed and used research software working with 3D mesh models.Wrote technical instruction for further use.Created a machine learning environment with Matlab; analyzed relationship between surface shape of bat ears and frequency produced.Collaborated with both undergraduate and graduate researchers and faculty advisors to prepare research for presentation.Developed Labview programs with National Instruments robotics to collect material strain data from sensors in a wind tunnel testing environment.Built testing rig for wind tunnel use.Created Matlab program to filter noise from wind speed data.Created a machine learning environment with Matlab; analyzed vibrations of wind turbine blade to differentiate between bird strikes and wind gusts.Prepared data visualizations and technical documentation of procedures and methodology for research presentation.
