Mclean, Virginia

• Developed and documented an initial test automation framework for executing daily automated software tests against the CommandPoint CAD® desktop application• Created data-driven automated regression tests for the CommandPoint CAD® desktop application using SmartBear’s TestComplete application, allowing the team to use the same automated tests to test different customer datasets• Performed manual functional testing when testing demands outweighed testing resources• Acquired an understanding of Agile methodology

College Park, Maryland

- Investigated basic concepts of automata theory and ambiguity in nondeterministic finite automata - Developed a computer algorithm, written in Java, to aid in the computation of ambiguity of different classes of nondeterministic finite automata - Used the computer algorithm to analyze how ambiguity behaves under intersection of finite automata - Research Mentor: Dr. Kelly Yancey, Department of Mathematics

Baltimore, Maryland Area

- Participated in the UMBC REU: Interdisciplinary Program in High Performance Computing - Performed memory analysis, determined computational limitations, and conducted performance studies of the Blossom V algorithm in order to highlight potential areas where the algorithm's performance could be improved- Conducted research with three other undergraduate students and documented results in a technical report- Presented findings at the UMBC Summer Undergraduate Research Fest - Developed critical skills in parallel computing by implementing parallel C programs using MPI
