I formerly worked as a Software Development Engineer for Amazon in Amazon Web Services. More specifically, I worked for Systems Manager's Parameter Store team as a full stack engineer, engaging in both back-end and front-end work. My tasks included front-end work, updating and maintaining our AWS console page with new service features and operational improvements - I was our team's only front-end capable engineer, and effectively had full ownership of our microservice's webpages; performed back-end work to continue to develop, scale, and improve the service for AWS' users; and operational work to maintain and support my team's service, including an occasional on-call rotation for the service.

I used to lead one the dining units on campus, Newell's Deli. I managed seven other supervisors and about 40 students, handling communication, operation, paperwork, and discipline. Some tasks included approving time cards, working orientations for new hires, and hosting meetings for the student supervisor team every other week. I worked closely with my Unit Manager and the Student Employment Coordinator to better assist the employees I managed, from coordinating work schedules to assisting in the orientation of new team members. This was a part-time position, about 20 hours per week, I held throughout my entire university tenure, minus the last semester which I took off to focus on my remaining course work.

For my first foray into software development, I worked for AWS Systems Manager, helping to develop a new feature for the Parameter Store service that was eventually worked into a feature customers use today - policies for parameters. Most of my work was performed in coordination with my mentor, who was working on a closely-tied but separate feature. This component itself was implemented in Java and supported by technical design documentation I wrote to support design choices and decisions I made, which I still occasionally reference for new interns today. Another important skill I picked up during this internship was communication, which I held with a wide array of personnel including peer and senior engineers, to software and product managers, to real customers and stakeholders in the project.

This was an internship sponsored by the National Science Foundation and Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation. I developed a mobile application over the summer between my Sophomore and Junior years used to access, monitor, and control a home micro-grid power system. While the application was designed as more of a base for future development, I managed to make a wireless connection to the system to monitor real-time updates and information. The system itself was built using Ionic and AngularJS, so I was able to work with web-development languages across both Android and iOS systems. I developed the application entirely independently, though other parts of the micro-grid system were developed by other interns, and we collaborated as a team of 7 people.
