I work closely with a distributed team of engineers, architects, testers, and product manager on the IBM Support Portal: https://support-pilot.podc.sl.edst.ibm.com/support/home/

• My focus is on the Call Home Web Experience, which provides IBM customers a dashboard to manager their systems, automated problem reports, system connectivity heartbeats, and more.

Fixed critical defects, wrote unit tests that increased test coverage without impacting the planned budget, and implemented new features for Blackbaud’s Luminate Online that allow customers to migrate their account and data from Blackbaud’s Sphere to Luminate Online

• During the company-wide hackathon “Off The Grid”, won first place out of 30 competing teams by creating a mobile-friendly donation form that enables bitcoin transactions for non-profits using Blackbaud’s Luminate Online

The University of Texas at Austin Department of Computer Science is ranked as a top-ten computer science department nationally. While at the university, I participated in the Texas Interdisciplinary Plan Mentor Academy, Association of Computing Machinery, Steel Pan Ensemble, University Chorus, Concert Chorale, and the Symphony Band. I also had the privilege of providing teaching assistance to Dr. Eberlein freshman course for computer science, tutoring Java and data structures, and mentoring computer science students through the Texas Interdisciplinary Plan

Frustrated with the options to view food recall information, I created an SMS subscription service that uses the FDA's Food Recall Databases to provide users real time alerts about unsafe or recalled food items
