Work Experience

Full Stack Developer
American Express | Apr 2019 - Present
Python
MySQL
Angular
Currently working at American Express as a Full Stack Engineer. My strengths are in the back-end development, as I am newer to front-end development, but the plan is for me to grow into this role and really develop myself into a Full Stack engineer. I will be working with technologies I am currently experienced in (MySQL, Python, Flask/Django, etc.) but will also expose me to front-end responsibilites and technologies (JS, HTML, etc.)
SQL Developer
Inchstones | Oct 2018 - Mar 2019
Python
MySQL
My recent role has some overlap to my previous role (architecting backend systems). However, the speed at which we develop is much quicker than a corporate position. Additionally, the scope of my duties is much more broad. I will be developing skills such as AWS, API development, javascript, data analysis/visualization and more.

Projects

LyricIQ
2018 | www.lyriciq.com
Python
MongoDB
Flask
Machine learning
Bootstrap
NLP
LyricIQ utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) along with other Machine Learning techniques to derive metrics and insights from a large catalog of song lyrics! This project gave me a lot of exposure to new technologies. I utilized machine learning techniques to extract sentiment from song lyrics. I deployed my own AWS application using as many real-world techniques and approaches as possible (VPC, subnets, routing, SSL, etc.)
