Software Engineer

Coming out of my internship with Boomerang in 2017, I was given the opportunity to modernize and revamp the Boomerang for Android email client to match more closely with the newly released Boomerang for iOS. In order to do so, I needed to familiarize myself with the Boomerang for Android infrastructure, including its Django server, to add new features and fix any outstanding bugs. Additionally, I have utilized both user feedback and codebase knowledge to help plan and prioritize steps toward the modernization of the application. Furthermore, I extensively test the essential features of the application after any central infrastructure changes, documenting any issues that come up and investigating them whenever necessary.
On the side, I developed a tool for efficiently searching through customer support tickets that to assist the product team in analyzing customer feedback.

Assisting the IT department in managing payments to and from the university, as well as handling and analyzing the procurement of both hardware and software for NYU through skills in Google Sheets, Excel, and Microsoft Access.
I also assisted in gathering and analyzing procurement data through code written in JavaScript for Google Sheets. My work around this also helped streamline the data management process, making it more efficient for everyone involved.

With Boomerang, my main project was to use Django to build the central and scalable endpoints for Boomerang for Outlook as a REST API to allow for Microsoft Outlook account integration with Boomerang's email clients. That involved profiling Microsoft API calls and minimizing them whenever necessary to optimize Boomerang for Outlook. 
Additionally, I designed, developed, and administered the server for the Django backend for a customer support analytics dashboard, while making sure to preserve customers' privacy. On that project I had to collaborate with other internal engineering teams to ensure the dashboard is fully functional for both a mobile and a web.
After these contributions, I was given the opportunity to return to Boomerang in 2018 to join the team full-time.

Omnipotence is a NY-based startup specializing in Android Applications and Android Games. I programmed and tested, in Java, the platforming interface for Project Gem, an android game developed using Libgdx to teach children in developing countries to read and write english, set up to compete in the 2016 Global Learning XPrize competition. During my time here I also Implemented drawing and handwriting recognition using only open source software and code bases, and connected that handwriting recognition to a generic combat system to create a new, innovative core game mechanic that rewards children for learning new words.
