During my time at General Motors I primarily worked with Java developers to create dynamic web applications for next generation software. My team and I are used Java and additional core software/technologies such as Spring MVC, JSP, and Oracle 12c (WebLogic, Oracle Database, etc), and a wide selection of front-end technologies such as jQuery and Bootstrap 3.x. I became a Team Lead UI/UX developer on the main long-term project I was involved in shortly after joining, responsible for tieing the backend framework with the front-end web application. Tasks included:- Communicate and work closely with team members/coworkers, project managers/architects, Java developers and Oracle database architects- Create project requirement documentation- User story research and direct interviewing with engineers to develop UI/UX requirements and documentation - Design project mockups, wireframes, and prototypes.- Create/develop front-end dynamic web applications/frameworks, mainly working with front-end integration with the backend (developing Java controllers, JSP's, etc).

All things technology with this growing Dallas based luxury auto club. Feb. 2019 - June 2020 - due to Covid we've decided to suspend and stop future business, events, etc.

During my time at Lubbock Symphony Orchestra, I accomplished a vast majority of duties and helped save the company thousands of dollars by going above the call of duty and internship requirements. - Squashed bugs in the main website making it multi-browser compatible (even adding support for IE6). - Implemented necessary security features, such as a weekly backup, and many other plugins which created a more intuitive experience on their Joomla-based website. - Maintained and edited pages, content, SEO meta information, etc. - Integrated Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools to provide the company with a more analytic view of where traffic was coming from and going to which provided them with valuable detailed user interactions on the website.Going beyond the requirements:- Designed and developed the new mobile website interface using the Joomla core so future updates to the desktop site will seamlessly go toward the mobile site. - Utilizing my own server and resources, I designed and developed the new mobile version of the website which ended up saving the company thousands of dollars on a hire they were looking for to accomplish this. - Use of my own server resources created a staging environment and eliminated downtime and risk during development, and the final mobile site was implemented with no downtime. - This was only accomplished by taking the company's concerns with working directly on the website, and correctly so being that I was an intern, for a job that they were planning to hire professionally. Finally, I stayed past my allotted time so I could update the old documentation on the website and to train the next incoming intern.
