EXPERIENCE
Upstate Capital
Volunteered as lead back-end developer on
Upstate Capital’s New York Business Plan
Competition (NYBPC) web application, with a
secondary project focused on migrating two of
the organization’s nonprofit databases
supporting entrepreneurship education across New
York State from Airtable to a scalable
MongoDB-based relational data model. In this
role, I worked on the full database schema and
data architecture, implementing secure user
authentication, created the AWS infrastructure
using Terraform and Ansible, and the front-end
application administrators. From this experience
I gained useful professional project planning &
management skills such as creating CBAs, Gantt
charts, project reports, and executive
summaries.
Hudson Happenings
Worked as a team for 3 months to create a
community event web app focused on boosting
local engagement. We used a Node.js REST API and
a React frontend to allow users to create,
share, and discover local events. I learned how
to collaborate effectively in a development
team, build full-stack applications, and stay
aligned with project goals through consistent
communication and task delegation.
TaskTogether
Led a team of 5 using scrum for 4 months to
create a social media scheduling web app. I
learned how to work successfully in a group
setting, and how to create and stick to a
workflow.

research team investigating the application of
quantum computing to AI-based intrusion
detection systems, compared with traditional
computing, using Grover’s algorithm.
