Shinydocs is where I bolstered my development skills in a number of ways.

• I took on a new level of responsibility leading front end development (Typescript, React.js, React Router, Tailwind CSS, C#, .Net Framework) for the Enterprise Search module of the Shinydocs Pro product.
• Leading development gave me the opportunity to work with project managers to produce great solutions with excellent user experience.
• I laid the foundation for the data management module with ease of use and simplicity in mind. Our clients loved the improvement to their workflow with the new module installed.
• Earning certification in Scrum/Agile methodology honed my skills at being an active scrum master.
• With a greater understanding and awareness of best practises I was better equipped to facilitate development for my team, and ensure my team worked well with other teams within the company.

During my time at WrightPlan I was fortunate enough to work on optimizing and modernizing some of their existing features.

• Updating the scheduling data structure, I was able to improve initial load time by 50%
• Converting legacy ASP.NET web forms, I brought modern designs and functionality to existing features.

As my first position out of college, I still had lots to learn. I look back fondly on all the great learning opportunities that I had there. My team-mates created a fantastic environment for learning and growth that I was lucky to take advantage of.

• Combining user data with Google's Map api, I created a Mapping module which allowed users to visualize where their work was taking place.
• Integrating weather data, users could see upcoming weather, allowing them to prepare their workers and stores against damage.

I wasn't just a person who codes, I got a chance to be acting scrum master for our team.

• Inside meetings, I led discussions, kept notes, and made sure the meetings went smoothly and efficiently.
• Outside of meetings I was the contact for our team, answering questions from other teams.
• I would also keep track of bugs, fixing them as needed, and delegating when the need arose.

Stantec was my second co-op placement during my time at Conestoga. I got some good insight into converting Visual Basic code into C# code. I rewrote an ArcGIS plugin to better handle errors and issues.

For my first co-op placement I worked for the Alumni department of Conestoga. I moved the alumni website from an outdated design to the new corporate design. During this time I made sure the site adhered to AODA/WCAG 2.0 accessibility standards. I also got my first taste of collaborating between departments, and development teams.
