Work Experience
Software Developer
Epic
- Developed hyperdrive modules and solutions using TypeScript, C#, and Cache.
- Built the macro entry point application that allows physician users to search and select their NoteWriter macros and browse other users' macros to make use of them for themselves.
- Ensured that designs and solutions accommodated localization and accessibility. For example, the HAWS and NVDA screen readers were supported and applications were keyboard friendly.
- Collected customer feedback and supported physicians during go-lives.
- Troubleshot and provided solutions and workarounds to customer support specialists who interfaced with clients using older versions of Epic that lacked current bug fixes and features.
- Helped to ensure that large projects were delivered to customers on time and as expected.
- Conducted workshops and presented during client calls to ensure that the platform's functionality was meeting the needs of domestic and international customers.
Software Developer
Performance Designed Products (PDP)
- Collaborated with two engineers to plan and deliver PDP Control Hub, a commercial app designed to interact with gaming peripherals.
- Designed and completed many user-facing pages that allow users to quickly and efficiently access the information they desire.
- Formulated an algorithm to reverse engineer an xy coordinate on a color wheel from an RGB value. This increase in efficiency changed loading times from several seconds to less than one second.
- Wrote UI objects from scratch using HTML, Canvas, and lerping techniques to interpolate between two values for game development.
- Innovated solutions using UWP, JavaScript, Excel, C++, HTML, CSS, Windows Forms, Xamarin, and SVN.
Software Developer, Intern
Amazon
- Simplified work item storage for Amazon’s internal retail workflow execution system, cutting an estimated two weeks from development time for engineers learning how to use the herd system.
- Used serialization and deserialization methods to initiate workflows and retrieve them from herd storage.
- Participated in a team using Agile methods such as daily scrums and bi-weekly sprints.
- Leveraged tools such as omni-grok (a code repository) to assist in interacting with the large herd codebase.
- Effectively estimated task lengths and delivered on given estimates.
