Professional Skills

Top Skills

Java

As a CS student, I use Java frequently in my coursework. In my Data Structures course I used Java to write a text file compressor using a Huffman tree and in my Software Engineering course I worked on an admin command line interface program for my group’s app. Outside of the classroom I used Google Web Toolkit to develop Java based web applications during my last internship.

SQL

There is rarely a project in which I don’t use SQL one way or another. In my Database course, I learned the fundamental concepts of designing and managing databases which culminated with developing and implementing a relational schema for a car rental company. I also used SQL at both my prior internships for various projects.

Node.js

Node.js has become one of my favorite languages to develop web apps with. I have used it on projects ranging from a GroupMe chat bot to a website designed to facilitate renting off campus houses at Lehigh. More recently I have been experimenting with the Node.js library for Hyperledger Fabric to develop blockchain applications.
