Work Experience

Software Developer

2019 - 2020
Société Générale CIB
  • Built a cross-platform desktop application to replace an existing tool with hundreds if not thousands of daily users. The new tool greatly increased the workers' productivity, also helping the management gain insight into important KPIs.
  • Raised upwards of $50,000 for charity using a web application that I built which included a silent auction, games, and lottery registrations.
  • Practiced Agile work methodology with CI/CD using Jenkins and Octopus.

Full-stack Developer

2015 - 2019
Ramapo College
  • Worked on the website of the college library as an aide to the senior developer and developed several parts of the application.
  • Tracked and fixed bugs as per user comments and suggestions.
  • Worked with WordPress to add/edit content on the library's blog and helped other librarians navigate it for their departmental uses.

Software Developer Intern

2018 - 2018
Jefferies
  • Built a full-stack application to be used by portfolio managers to run scripts directly on the servers instead of their local machines. The results were displayed in a web application with extensive options to edit, transform, and export the data.
  • Wrote scripts to automate and optimize analytics for algorithmic trading.
  • Designed and created, for one particular script, a service that reduced the run time from three minutes to less than three seconds.
Technologies: GitHub, Linux, Unix, Flask, Django, Perl, Python, REST APIs
