Assisted in the administration of the Bellevue lab environment, including management of on-premises servers and data storage. During tenure, I explored IT and data management concepts, including cloud storage management using NetApp software on Amazon Web Services, as well as VM management (Hyper-V) and containerization (Docker, K8s). Much of the work done was also able to eventually be automated with the use of PowerShell scripts written by myself. Was also fortunate enough to work directly with developers of NetApp products such as those working on the Cloud Volumes Service, as well as shadow their more senior Technical Marketing Engineers while on the job.
Worked full-time while taking classes at EvCC, during which I was developing soft skills through customer facing work involving frequent social interaction and conflict resolution.
In order to help assist students in experiencing a more complete, yet remote educational experience, I have helped in part to develop spu2you. By teaming with OhmniLabs and leveraging their telepresence robots, spu2you would allow students to reserve and connect to a given robot and attend class from the comfort of home. Built using React.js and leveraging Azure Cloud Services such as Azure AD and Azure Functions.
This simple, open-source note-taking application helped me to better understand cloud hosting services, http request technology, as well as simple database logic by leveraging Google's Firebase service. Ultimately, this app proved useful in helping me to learn much of the technology that would be necessary to implement in some form for the spu2you project above. Uses vanilla JavaScript, Electron.js for parallel web and desktop development, and the Firebase Realtime Database, making asynchronous calls to retrieve and store data.

Basic Discord bot that is being actively developed. Notable features thus far are the weather commands, allowing users to retrieve localized weather reports based on zip code, Youtube music streaming from within voice calls, and Google search results displayed in chat. Made possible with Discord.js, the OpenWeatherMap API, Zenserp, and Heroku!
