Additional Information

Web-Based Property Management System (Principles of Software Engineering, Fall 2022) Designed and created a web-based property management system that allowed users to keep record of their personal property. This was to be used for insurance claims after a natural disaster and during a time of crisis. The website included customer sign-up and login, add/delete/edit items and a master account. I also created a user-guide for the website.

IOS/Android AI Chat-Bot Application(Engineering Design Course Project) developed by Ricky Gould, Jeffry Castro, Kenny Demosthene. I was the team leader for this two semester long course project which included using an agile framework, specifically using Scrum methodologies, to develop a customer service chat-bot using artificial intelligence. This involved iterative development, regular sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and continuous reflection and improvement. Using a variety of languages such as Typescript, Javascript, and Python greatly enhanced my experience with these languages and topics such as API's, frontend and backend work, and using databases to store data and provide user authentication.
