As a Software Developer for a web-based geological visualization company, I reported directly to Software Development Lead of the frontend and backend teams that I worked on. Additionally, I:• Collaborated with colleagues on a React web app that receives data from a shim, allowing users to view, modify, and compare their data in a browser, rather than the company’s legacy desktop application. • Demonstrated attention to detail by writing robust unit tests, maintaining a high standard of UI responsiveness, and contributing to code reviews.• Consumed APIs to implement various frontend features such as user comments, a slicing tool, scale bar, sliders, drillhole filters, and texture selectors.• Coordinated with the Project Manager, Design Team, and QA to prioritize and deliver features within an Agile project framework.• Coordinated with a backend team to design and implement a Python FastAPI microservice that uploads and retrieves ‘scene data’ from Azure Blob Storage, allowing users to share a snapshot of their session with colleagues in their organization, or publicly via a URL.

As a Junior Software Developer for an online provider of a cloud-based medical imaging platform I reported directly to the Software Development Manager and the Software Lead/Scrum Master. Additionally, I:• Collaborated with a team of 40 Developers, Designers, QA (Quality Assurance) Testers and IT Leads located in Calgary, Toronto and Paris.• Liaised with four inter-disciplinary Development Teams (Protected Health Information, Cardiac, Oncology and Frontend Architecture) to implement new cardiac analysis features on a medical imaging application.• Gathered requirements and liaised with designers to source effective ways of transferring wireframes to frontend UI.• Maintained and supported the company’s MEAN (MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS and Node) full stack medical imaging application (consisting of a Loader and a Viewer).• Assisted the Software Development Manager with the on-boarding of software interns and with other duties as assigned.

Jason De Koning Lab

As an Undergrad Research Assistant for the University’s computational genomics and evolutionary genetics lab, I earned a 4.0 for the thesis project, “A Survey of Recurrent Amino Acid Substitution in Cancer Exomes.” Additionally, I:• Collaborated with graduate students and post-doctoral researchers to develop bioinformatics simulation programs and analysis platforms. • Identified research requirements, applied bash, Perl, and R scripting skills to develop modular pipelines to analyze and visualize large genetic datasets. • Organized and led a monthly meeting group to discuss new bioinformatics technologies and methods. • Gathered, analyzed and maintained data while accurately documenting research findings. • Analyzed and repurposed code published in journal articles to meet the lab’s specific needs.• Successfully planned and conducted presentations and discourses in lab meetings, department retreats, and national genetics conferences.
