I spent the summer of 2020 on the VM-Series team building a framework for Python unit tests using PyTest and writing the tests when the framework was completed. Much of the summer was spent researching different techniques and libraries to use for this project, which culminated in over 2000 lines of code, nearly 200 tests, and thorough documentation for testing 11 different Cloud VM plugins. I also spent the summer learning about roles focused more on security and perfected working from home during the COVID-19 quarantine.

Also called SPAWAR, NAVWAR is a research organization for the Navy. While I was there, I worked on building software for network simulations using ns3, where parts of a network could be interchangeable without having to rewrite the code for every situation. The work I did that summer was all in C++ and in a Linux environment.
