I designed and built internal staff tools as well as a live online classroom platform for students and teachers to respectively learn and teach computer science. I worked on the front end hands-on with React, CSS, and WebSocket communication. I worked with Java on the backend.

I participated heavily in planning and designing user interfaces, feature sets, writing documentation, as well as managing remote engineers. I spent a year working remotely before the pandemic hit, so I am very comfortable, productive, and efficient when it comes to working remotely.

Being a host isn't a game. It takes mindfulness, patience, appreciation, understanding, and quick thinking to perform this role smoothly. One has to have the ability to welcome, seat, and listen to guests with a radiant and comfortable smile while all hell could be breaking loose on the side of the restaurant that guests can never know about. It's possible guests will never speak about or remember a wonderful restaurant experience, but they will ALWAYS remember and share experiences where something as small as just one tiny speck of debris on their menu ruined their evening, so the host has to make sure nothing like that happens. Lastly, this role requires being able to stand forever. All in all, I think I did a good job in all of these areas.

Learned about best Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment practices and tested a service designed to pipeline the process.
