Seattle, WA
May 2023 - May 2024
Boston, MA
New Age Micro LLC
Software Developer
During my time at NAM, I developed and implemented a comprehensive suite of automated
testing using
Jest
and Node. This ensured optimal functionality and reliability for client websites.
Additionally, I led an in-depth evaluation of a client's cryptography module, focusing on:
validating
its
robustness and reliability,
generating and testing various digital certificates for system compatibility and compliance,
creating Intermediate Certificate Authorities (ICAs) to check hierarchy and delegation protocols,
ensuring secure and streamlined certificate issuance, and
producing and facilitating the approval process for Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs) to confirm
system
responsiveness and reliability.

Contributor Development Partnership
Project Manager
At CDP, I had the opportunity to collaborate with a talented team of project managers on a
significant
project, overseeing the migration of CRM systems.
In my role, I executed strategies and improvements to project plans using Workfront which result in
increasing tema efficiency by 50%. Furthermore, I researched and implemented new technologies
to the current strategy of project management to save 30+ hours of work weekly. Lastly, I generated
and
presented performance and progress reports, using Excel and Workfront, on over 7 departments and 50+
employees ranging from Digital Services to Business Operations.
June 2019 - December 2021
Brooklyn, NY
Charter Technology Solutions
Project Deployment Lead
Project Intern
Over two years at CTS, I led the configuration and deployment of 8,000+ devices across 60+ schools
in
the
New York area, leveraging G-Suite & PDQ Deploy.
Starting as an intern, I adeptly addressed IT issues, consistently achieving 100% client
satisfaction
during
site visits. In collaboration with senior engineers,
I contributed to the network infrastructure development for 5+ schools. I was later promoted to
Project
Lead, managing a team of six interns, effectively delegating tasks and ensuring smooth project
execution.
Projects
ECG
Course Project - Circuits & Signals
- Collaborated with a colleague to design and implement an ECG system.
