University of Central Florida

I worked as a web developer for the UCF Center for Distributed Learning.

I supported professors' online course development and built and supported applications for students, professors, and for CDL internal use.

I have built two learning games that are integrated with UCF's online learning platform, Canvas, contributed to a Python API for the same learning platform, and contributed to an internal admin dashboard.

A library for accessing the Canvas API with Python. It allows Canvas to be managed programmatically. I implemented the endpoints for all the associated poll functions.

Materia Widgets

I created a game that mimics a spreadsheet to test students. I also created a game that allows teachers to create a graph. Students have to properly connect the graph's nodes and label the edges.

I also added documentation to several game modules and updated them to Node 12.

Amazon

I interned with Amazon over the summer of my senior year. I worked in the Devices organization on the project from the initial design phase up until it was released.

I built a service to reset the cloud settings of Alexa devices. It was required to be highly scalable and extensible.
