As a Part Time Student in IT/cybersecurity with John Deere, I work as a part of the Digital Security Platform Team to build products which aggregate, normalize, and report security findings to development and leadership groups within John Deere. The Platform Team works to drive the adoption of powerful security tools which will improve the security posture of John Deere as a whole. We follow an agile development process which helps us deliver high quality products which are flexible and timely.My position on this team is full time during the summer of 2023. I will continue with this position as a part-time employee alongside my studies until I graduate in spring of 2024.

Tutored Iowa State students in Computer Science courses including "Design and Analysis of Algorithms" and "Theory of Computation"

In this position I was primarily responsible for development of a web application which automates a routine image processing task. In my fist days with the company, I was given a description of the task and a list of constraints to which my solution was to comply, and then tasked with developing the application independently. I was required to familiarize myself with many new technologies to develop this project, including Go, Docker, AWS, and Postman. This project also required regular communication with my supervisor, including periodic presentations and demonstrations of project progress. This position was a great educational experience that exposed me to real-world software development practices along with lots of interesting technologies.
