• Software Developer

  • Dec 2017 - Aug 2018

  ● ServiceSearch: I personally built an app that matches a user with law, mental health and shelter social services that they qualify for based on over 10 matching criteria. I utilized the City of Chicago API to access local social service information and the Google Maps API to allow the user to access directions directly in the application and show the user their location in relation their service matches in their personalized user page. The app uses Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, CSS, HTML PostGres and VueJS.● Actualize CRM: Working on a software development team in an agile environment, I added features to the real CRM that Actualize uses to manage its prospective applicants. The CRM allows a user to call and text a lead through the Twilio API, and worked on features involving its UI, including an internal restructuring that transformed the app into a Single Page Application, making it much easier to use. This app uses Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, and VueJS.● Intensive Coding Bootcamp: I took the intensive, 3-month Actualize bootcamp, where I learned Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, VueJS, and more.
