• Assisted 110 students by holding 20 office hours per week and answering course-related emails each week.• Provided guidance on C programming and debugging using GDB in Linux, helping students solve complex coding issues.• Ran help sessions during office hours, teaching course material and troubleshooting student code.

• Database Optimization and Scalability: Enhanced offer letter processing by refining queries and transitioning to a reader database, resulting in a 60% average reduction in load on the writer database for ReadIOPS. Utilized SQL for query optimization, Java for system integration, Spring Boot for robust APIs, and conducted thorough unit testing with JUnit and Mockito.• KnowledgeBase Management: Overhauled KnowledgeBase (KB) links post-migration from Salesforce to HelpJuice. Replaced static HTML links with dynamic Angular (TypeScript) variables, ensuring a smooth experience for end users. Additionally, used Java to replace hard-coded links with constants.• Containerization with Docker: Facilitated local development by containerizing a Python Flask app using Docker, reducing setup time for the development environment from 1 week to less than 5 minutes. Created a Dockerfile that simplified the process for new team members, enhancing collaboration. Managed containerized Apache2 and MySQL instances on Ubuntu 19 (Linux).• Security Collaboration: Partnered with InfoSec to identify and rectify security vulnerabilities, successfully eliminating a dozen critical security issues. Addressed web security problems such as client-reflected file downloads (CRFD), missing HSTS headers, server-side request forgery (SSRF), open redirects, and cookie poisoning using Python (Flask) and JavaScript.• Memory Efficiency Enhancement: Improved memory efficiency within the Recruiting app by rethinking how we handled I/O operations using Java and Spring Boot. Leveraged RESTful APIs to optimize processes and reduce resource consumption, contributing to a smoother user experience. Employed JUnit and Mockito for testing to ensure robustness and reliability.• Agile Development Practices: Contributed within an Agile team, utilizing a Kanban Board on Azure DevOps, with 3-week sprints and GitLab CI/CD pipelines to enhance development efficiency.

• Authored over 40 change packages to improve the functionality of the Siemens NX CAD software.• Worked on over 45 Problem Reports (PRs), with a focus on FURPS PRs, to improve the quality of the Drafting application.• Modified dozens of files to integrate new C++ APIs in heavily object-oriented design, improving existing legacy features.• Collaborated with a team of 9 other software engineers, including the product manager, to implement numerous features for projects on 3+ functional specification (FS) documents. This included developing client design specifications and interfacing with customers.• Communicated with the product manager (PM) to gather requirements (requirements engineering) when creating UI/UX functional specification (FS) documents.• Utilized test-driven development (TDD) by developing tests before writing code.• Implemented unit tests, integration testing, and regression testing on project and PR fixes. Autotesting was run by comparing XML data with Python scripts and was partially responsible for the QA testing framework in the team. This included “code coverage” and testing for future regressions.• Used continuous integration (CI) in DevOps SDLC methodology and worked with a version control system (VCS). This included descriptive commits, merging in pull requests, and code reviews from more senior developers.

• Mentored 24 first-year engineering students in engineering best practices and co-op search advice in the first-year engineering course, effectively speaking to them as an audience.• Tutored groups of students with no experience in programming how to code in Python, use flowcharts, and utilize the problem presentation method.• Responsibly corresponded emails and grades between myself and 76 other students on a weekly basis.
