Experience
Social Learning Website
Collaborated on creating a social learning website that provides a simplified and time-efficient way to learn and implement game rules. My role in the team was to add and support new front- and back-end website features.

Data Center Peripheral Management
Wrote an inventory application for server peripherals, incorporating their location and ownership into the system. This included loosely integrating the app with SAP and support software to introduce PO line item tracking and automated ticket updates.
Data Center Lab Management
Automated a service that handles some of the lab manager's duties, such as updating each new DCOPS-related ticket with operation workflow information, monitoring SLA breaches, and validating PR and PO tickets' data and the PO approval schedule. The service is tightly integrated with support software and loosely integrated with Coupa.
