I studied Computer Science and Studio Art @ Santa Clara University. At school, I was involved with ACM (Association for Computing Machinery), Entrepreneurship club, and KSCU (The Santa Clara Radio Station). In my free time I would to take trips to Lake Tahoe for snowboarding and trips to Santa Cruz to surf. In June, I graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science and a minor in Studio Art.
In the summer of 2015, I interned for MedImpact HealthCare Systems Inc., a pharmacy benefits management company. I assisted the IT Security and Data Warehousing departments. Within these areas, I learned everything from how to identify and diffuse advanced persistent threats to managing and employing Extract, Transformation, and Load (ETL) tools, SQL, and data warehousing appliances.
Since the beginning of my 2nd year at SCU, I worked as a student IT technician. I answered all types of hardware and software questions to all students and faculty at the University. In addition, I fixed most of the student and faculty computer problems which range from a corrupt install of software, to replacing their hard drive, as well as other miscellaneous tasks.
For the fall quarter of my junior year at Santa Clara University, I chose to study abroad at the University of Cape Town in Cape Town, South Africa. By studying abroad in Cape Town, I was not only able to travel and see incredible places around the continent of Africa, but I was able to experience how businesses and technology work in the context of another country.
In the winter quarter of my junior year, I was hired as a student ambassador at Santa Clara University. As a student ambassador, I was the first point of contact for any prospective student that is interested in SCU. I gave hour long campus tours for prospective families and students. In addition I participated in 30 minute long student only Q&A panels speaking to my experiences and opportunities I have had at Santa Clara.
During the summer of 2017, I started working for a startup in Mountain View, California as a software developer intern. My main responsibilites were to create web applications using HTML, CSS, and Javascript to be used on a TV platform. In addition, my other responsibilities have been using Node.js and created/edited scripts to handle the backend of our product.
In August of 2018, I started my first job as a DevOps & Release engineer at Workday, Inc. in Pleasanton, CA. I worked on our tools team oversaw and assisted in the software development of Salesforce and ServiceNow releases. In my last year, I built & maintained internal developer tooling and integrations that automated and enhanced current build/deploy processes.
I am currently a Senior Software Enginer at Procore Technologies headquarted in Carpinteria, CA. At Procore, I specialize in delivery and developer productivity doing everything from maintaining internal build tools to CI/CD workflow maintenance enhancments. For my current day to day, I am usually using typescript or Rails to build out new features for our internal tooling.
