Experience

MightyHive Billing Engine

The billing engine is an application that processes large volumes of programmatic advertising data to produce invoices for clients and bills approved invoices with Stripe. I built this application using Pandas, NumPy, Python, Django, and cloud technologies. This was a challenging project because of the extensive customization required for hundreds of MightyHive clients.

Code Institute Mentorship App

The Mentorship App is used by mentors to record mentorship sessions, track student progress, generate invoices, and visualize activities and metrics with graphs. I built the back end with Python and Django and the client using Vue.js.
