MPower provides community based renewable energy solutions. My responsibilities have been varied and include software system design, software implementation, contributions to flexibility and energy market design reports and basic system design. Notable contributions include a RESTful API, which I designed, implemented using Node.js and deployed on a production server. The API is responsible for receiving incoming data, saving to a database and returning formatted data upon request. I have also created several dashboards using JavaScript library React to visualize data from the API. Show less

Magus is a software company that develops Antenna Magus, an antenna design tool. At Magus I was responsible for new antenna designs, as well as upgrading and updating older existing models. This provided me with extensive experience with CST and antenna design. I also developed skills in communicating with cross-platform teams, including the software teams at Magus, as well as the internal software team at CST. New antenna designs required developing algorithms in Matlab, as well as limited implementation in C#. Show less
