Coming from an academic economics background but not wanting to pursue a PhD, I became a data manager for the City of New York. There I analyzed performance data for the 1.1 million students and 100,000 teachers and staff at the Department of Education. I realized that I was answering a lot of the same questions over and over again, so I started looking for ways to automate the statistics that I was running. This led me to explore VBA and later JavaScript. My coding work allowed me to expand my impact by automating tedious tasks for tens of thousands of users across the DOE, and it led to 2 promotions culminating in a position as a Fullstack Engineer and team lead working in SQL, Postgres, Python Flask, Node.js, Express, React, and Vue.js.Skills• Expert: JavaScript, Vue.js, React, CSS, HTML5, Node.js, Express, SQL, A-Frame• Intermediate: Python Flask, Babel, Webpack, Git, Bash, Project Management, React-Native• Some Experience: PHP, Angular, Redis, Three.js• Certifications: Microsoft Technology Associate): Database Fundamentals, Agile Project Management• Languages Spoken: English, SpanishRecent Projects:• API for generating x, y, and z coordinates for augmented reality environments based on latitudes and longitudes of real world objects: https://nries1.github.io/xyz/index.html• E-commerce site raising money for AOC: https://www.youmeandaoc.com• Social media app for rock climbers: https://climbar.herokuapp.com/• AutoShift a Chrome extension to automate timekeeping for city employees: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/autoshift/hdmolilhlogincpaomciebdgnhjnngbn
