Using Selenium, Cucumber, Java, Eclipse, TestNG, and Maven, I create efficient and fast automated tests of web applications, which also print out thorough reports upon completion of a test suite, to be viewed in a web browser. I am able to aid other developers when set backs arise on applications they are working with.

Software Quality Engineer

I run test cases of assorted software products, including web and mobile apps. Devices on which the tests are conducted may be remote, using the cloud services Perfecto or BrowserStack. I report various issues in trackers, such as Trello, JIRA, and occasionally GitHub. Slack is the primary medium of communication among coworkers and engagement managers. Clients have included major utility, media,  and financial institutions.

Software Quality Assurance Tester

Ernst & Young

As part of a neurodiversity recruitment initiative, I worked both individually and in teams, on exercises using (partial list) Excel, Visual Basic, Python, and budgeting and database proposals for a client.

Super Week attendee

Completed job search coaching, resume editing, team projects, viewing jobs in action, project presentations, mock interviews, and official interviews as part of program to facilitate hiring of people on the autism spectrum.

Cohort Participant

Oregon Museum of Science & Industry

I assisted museum visitors in the laser lab, via demonstrations and descriptions. I also helped maintain the laboratory. In earlier stint, worked in physics exhibit area, demonstrating various interactive tools and devices to teach visitors about static electricity, early phonographs, kinetics, gears, gravity, and energy generation/conservation.

Laser Lab Assistant

Both individually and in groups, performed assorted activities and exercises to prepare for the enterprise software industry, especially the way things go at SAP. Explored problem solving approaches and technology streamlining with emphasis on customer satisfaction.

Enterprise Readiness Academy Apprentice

Free Geek

Build, Evaluation, and Test Area – I assessed computer hardware (i.e., RAM chips, keyboards, mice, and optical disk drives) and peripherals to determine suitability for repurposing. I ran tests according to protocols, isolating item issues.

BETA Intern

Habitat for Humanity ReStore

I received, unloaded, handled, disassembled, sorted, and transported donations (furniture and appliances) in nonprofit home improvement store and donation center selling new and used furniture, appliances, home accessories, building materials and household items at a fraction of the retail price. The store supports recycling, sustainability, and community outreach.

Associate (Volunteer)

Thug Design

Project 1 - Assess the effectiveness of marketing strategies at making PC gamers upgrade their hardware.
Project 2 - Wire a microcontroller to an existing PC and download and install software for it, such as drivers. Rate the compatibility, ease of setup, and clarity of instructions provided.
Project 3 - Similar to #2, except with an Optane memory module. Test its effectiveness at accelerating the performance of an existing hard disk drive and rate the user experience, user interface, and setup instructions given.

Paid Focus Group Member / User Experience + Product Tester

CENTER FOR EMERGENT MATERIALS, The Ohio State University

Eight-week paid program funded by the National Science Foundation

I tested the stability of various Ruddlesden-Popper Perovskite phases (2-layered oxides of this type are already well known) to determine if halide versions could form the same space group patterns known in oxides, or if the halides were even stable enough to be synthesized in the first place. The stoichiometry of the 2-layered phases means it is possible for them to disproportionate into other compounds, even with no other reagents present. This was the case for the halides tested during the program.

Equipment used: Glove box, hydrogen/oxygen torch, quartz tubes, glassware, X-ray diffraction slides and instruments, glass vials, ceramic crucibles and tubes, programmable furnaces, mortars and pestles, analytical balances. Graduate supervisor: Andrew Sharits. Advisor: Patrick Woodward.

Undergraduate Researcher

Oregon State University

Undergraduate shadowing under graduate supervision, Xiulei (David) Ji’s laboratory

I synthesized cathodes through stirring conductive carbon, solutions of PVDF and coated carbon. Solvent used was N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. Coatings included tin dioxide, vanadium(V) oxide, nickel(II) hydroxide, and antimony(III) oxide. I poured slurries onto aluminum foil, dried, and cut into thin disks to create finished cathodes for button cell batteries. We cut sodium metal disks to use for the anodes. 

Electrolytes included sodium perchlorate and tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate, in propylene carbonate or a solution of that compound and ethylene carbonate. The electrodes were separated by glass fiber disks. I placed a spacer and spring atop the sodium anode, added caps, and sealed by crimping them under 1000 pounds of force for 45 seconds.

Undergraduate researcher

Software analyst, math geek, inorganic chemistry nerd, programmer, game developer, bowler, neuroatypical, cat fan.

Software developer: Java, C, C++, UnrealScript, JavaScript. Algorithms such as sorting lists, weighted averages, modular arithmetic, and prime number generation and testing. Game design experience including weapons, server construction and features, and optimization. Virtual reality prototyping in C and Java from scratch.

Researcher: Main interests in sodium and lithium-ion batteries, polymers, and other inorganic chemistry applications/developments.

Technician: Troubleshooting, maintaining, and repairing mechanical devices and equipment.
