CoSourcery

• Portland, Oregon Area

• Web Development Intern

  • Oct 2018 - Apr 2019

  Internship role where I worked on a Angular/Firebase web app and received tutoring and mentorship from basic web design patterns as well as those more specific to the Angular and Firebase environments. Regular remote and in person interaction with team through Slack and Github, including code reviews and daily standups. Some highlights of this role: o I was required to bring myself up to speed on Firebase and AngularFire with minimal oversight from the team. o Wrote the first unit and integration tests that their platform had seen. Required a lot of self-education and direction as no one on the team was familiar with testing. Also gave me a chance to educate the founder regarding the justification for TDD and how it functions within a product. o Chase down and diagnosed bugs on the platform, reported the issues and causes to the appropriate party and then, with oversight from a senior team member, help fix them. o Expanded the profile component via break a single component into three separate components and adding features such as read-only, so that anyone may view a user's profile, and a contributions section, where users can see any user's contributions and activity.
