Relevant Work

Senior Software Engineer, BYU Office of Information Technology, Provo, UT, 09/2014 – Present

● Led backend architecture and development for the CES undergraduate application, customizing it for multiple universities (BYU Hawaii, BYU Idaho, BYU Pathway, Ensign). Worked with several CES leaders to customize the application to their needs. In this project I used the latest technologies such as: AWS beanstalk, ECS, S3, Lambdas, PostgreSQL, MySQL, DynamoDB, VueJS, Node.js, Typescript, Swagger, Git, Docker, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Postman & Runscope.

● Worked on BYU iOS mobile app using Swift and Android implementing new look and feel as well as new functionality to register for classes.

● Implemented and supported web-based admin tools to facilitate bug fixes, data integrity, and third-party integrations.

● Architected and built decision-processing tools that streamlined application decisions for CES schools. Worked on Auto Reg Cart class registration. Students are now able to plan which classes they would like the system to attempt to auto register classes whenever their priority registration day clears them to register. In this project I used the latest technologies such as: AWS, Mongodb, Polymer, Node.js, Swagger, Git, Docker, Kubernetes, Codeship, Runscope and Ghost Inspector.

● Developed a website both front-end and back-end using BYU C Framework and Oracle database. It allowed students to receive clearance to register for both BYU Evening Classes and Salt Lake Center.

● Developed, maintained and enhanced registration internal web-based applications used by Faculty and Staff which supported faculty in grades, reports, and student registration tasks.

IoT Developer & Research Assistant, BYU ECEN NET Lab, Provo, UT, 01/2019 – 04/2021

● Developed IoT solutions using LoPy microprocessors with LoRa/WiFi protocols, programming in MicroPython to interact with energy meters and store data in CSV format.

● Engineered IoT devices with Particle microprocessors (Arduino) to collect environmental data from sensors (DHT22, SPS30, RTC, microSD) and send it to Particle Cloud, triggering a Google Cloud Pub/Sub queue for further processing with a Dockerized Python script and storage in an InfluxDB database.

● Deployed and maintained air quality sensors in Mongolian gers, supporting environmental health research.

● Designed and implemented a Grafana dashboard for real-time monitoring, visualizing sensor data, and sending alerts via Slack for missing data, aiding troubleshooting efforts.

● Conducted big data analysis and cleanup using Python, Pandas, Jupyter Notebook, Matplotlib, NumPy, and SciPy to extract insights from IoT-collected datasets.

Programmer, WALMART, Bentonville, AR, 08/2012 - 09/2014

● Developed a website using C# and VB.NET that allows business users to perform superuser actions on a request that needed to be modified in Teamworks.

● Developed an optimized search look up where depending on the field being used by business users, it prioritizes the search accordingly in order to look through millions of rows in DB2.

● Developed and installed quarterly releases of workflow and taxonomy using IBM DB2 in order to help business be in sync with their current business model.

● Participated in 3 “Hack Day” events where I had to collaborate with different teams to come up with creative resolutions to business problems.

● Migrated .NET desktop tools to a website format using ASP.NET MVC.

● Developed a POC to business in order to move away from spreadsheet format containing workflows. Used ASP.NET and jQuery to retrieve data from DB2.

Information Systems Intern, WALMART, Bentonville, AR, 05/2011 - 08/2011

● Worked as a software developer on an ASP.NET MVC web application, with jQuery on the front-end. The application is designed for suppliers and my focus was to improve supplier usability. I worked on client-side grids to represent data that was more organized and user-friendly to the suppliers.

● Developed a web-based reporting tool. This helped managers generate custom reports which were sortable in order to meet their needs.

● Fixed bugs that were reported by QA. This gave me a better understanding of the code-base as a whole, and enabled me to more fully understand the customer’s needs.

Computer Programmer, BYU College of Humanities, 04/2011 - 08/2012

● Developed a website that allows students to schedule an appointment with a tutor. Authentication was done via Google OAuth, as well as through the department’s MySQL database.

● Developed a website to display a newsfeed, calendar, and picture gallery. Front-end, used jQuery for the UI and Ajax calls to retrieve information from MySQL database.

● Developed a website that enables faculty to perform book searches. Google Books API was used to retrieve book information.

● Developed an Android tablet application that enables faculty to quickly search foreign movies available on BYU media server.
