Experienced in applying Agile Methodology's manifesto, Test Driven and Behavior Driven Development during the Agile life cycle by using user stories, sprints, velocity measuring, tests, and continuous delivery.
Creating test suites for faster automated testing, increased confidence, improved design and good flow. Assisted by Quality Assurance that catches areas missed by test suites and increases test coverage.
Can effectively perform Github Actions to apply Continuous Integration that automates testing as well as integrating new code to a main codebase. Github Actions then applies Continuous Deployment to automate the deployment of a codebase.
On Github; able to look for effective testing, refactoring or readability issues, then comment, approve, or request changes on pull requests. Making use of pair programming techniques which offer higher quality software and "on-the-go" code review.

Experience
App Development
Guided a team of 3 students in designing, coding, and testing mobile applications.
Utilized a variety of software and software development techniques including Jira to plan projects and create a backlog of tasks to estimate complexities and work in sprints, Github Actions to script continuous integration and development, and Pair Programming to increase software quality in less time, code review “on the go”, and ensure collective code ownership.
Web Development
Imported Bootstrap 5 source files to edit SASS for custom themes. Worked with JS and CSS animations. Created to be highly responsive for most screen sizes.
Applied Express framework and Sequelize to create an API server and relational database. Employed React framework to build interactive UI components that can communicate with the backend server.

Me, Myself, and I..
Most of my hobbies involve exercising my creative ability and willingness to learn new skills. I try to improve my skills each time I create something new.
Hobbies
I spend plenty of time writing creative short stories, poems, and songs. I try to improve my creative skills in thinking outside the box with each line and writing something meaningful.
I also enjoy drawing portraits in various styles, digital paintings of landscapes, and photoshopping space, nature, or wallpapers. I try to use everything I can to make my art look the best it can.
Cooking has also become my favorite hobby. Learning different recipes and being creative with them, then preparing tasty dishes is rewarding. My best dishes have been Zuppa Toscana, Chicken Tikka Masala, and ribeye steaks.
I like to learn new and current skills, tools, and methods when programming my own projects. I enjoy video game development because it allows me to explore many programming and artistic skills to create a unique and entertaining world.
Another hobby of mine is gaming with friends while working as a team and communicating effectively. Team work, communication, planning, and effective action are skills I have learned while gaming.
Interests
Scientific advancements I am interested in involve: Neuralink which I believe can advance many areas of technology. Creating realistic, human-like AI is another area of science that intrigues me with it's many possible applications as well.
I like to spend time watching Sci-Fi movies such as Interstellar, The Martian, or Avatar, all of which I've watched many times. Each of their stories revolve around science and space in some way, and that's what keeps me interested.
I keep up with many advancements involved with space such as The James Webb Space Telescope which could reveal so much about the universe. I also enjoy taking my telescope outside and taking pictures of the celestial bodies in space; Saturn is my favorite.
