Overview

I am currently employed as a Software Engineer at Meta and have a Master's degree in Computer Sceince. I have a passion for computer development, research, and design. My area of intresets include game development, robotics, and software development.

Research

Awarded a scholarship to lead a research group in programming the NAO Robot guided by Dr. Francisco Silva-Blanco, professor of mathematics at the University of South Carolina. Conceived and designed the code used by the NAO Robot to read, understand, and play sheet music and the code used to play Mastermind with the NAO Robot as well as strategies the robot employs to play the game using Python and C++ coding languages.

Leadership

Founder and president of the Carolina Gamers Club student organization at UofSC; facilitates socialization through gaming and promotes game development. Organized meetings, game development teams, and events (tournaments, fundraisers, showcases, etc.). Hosted game development workshops on how to use Unity (game engine) and Blender (3D graphics software). Composing a 2D platformer in Unity using C#.

Career

Current

I have recently started a new position as a Software Engineer at Meta in New York. I'm looking forward to all of the challeging problems to solve and exciting adventures in the big apple!

Though I can't talk about many things I'm working on, one I can share is Meta's first ever, and the first one published by a "big-tech" company, system card for artifical intellegence. It explains how the Instagram feed decides to show posts to the users and provides the user an example so they can try their hand at the algorithm. I've also helped with other miscelaneous external facing products that assist in providing users with transparency and control, such as Facebook's WAIST ("Why am I seeing this?")

Past

In May 2016, I was an intern for a local startup called Cognito Forms, a powerful online form builder dedicated to empowering their users to create amazingly functional and well designed forms. My primary focus was automated test development (QA). I was given additional roles as the only intermediate support personale between first response custom service and our development team (3 senior engineers). By summer 2017, my focus was purely intermediate support. In December 2017, though was I pursing a gradute degree in computer science, I was offered a full time position as a software engineer. Since then, I have worked on many facets on our team:

• Feature development (front and back end)

• Designed and implemented our automated testing infrastructure

• Intermediate support (rotating)

  • Alert triaging and Error reporting analytics

  • Bug fixes

• Development process alerts, communications, notifications

In addition to participating in a rotating intermediate support role, I am currently a full time software engineer on the product development team working on external, public facing product features. Below is an incomplete list of features I will be working, am currently working, or have worked on:

• • Form Styling Enhancements (2018)

  • Form Usage Statistics (2019)

  • System Emails Updates and Downgrading Questionaire (2019)

  • Read-Only Fields (2019)

  • Quantity Field (2019)

  • Conditional Logic Builder Enhancements (2019)

  • Question Piping (2019)

  • Verified Email Domains (2020)

  • Custom To/From for Emails (2020)

  • Multiple Pricing Tiers (Stripe)

• Square Strong Customer Authentication
