As part of the Technology Intern Program, I was fully immersed in the work of a development team. I learned React and improved my fluency in JavaScript, practiced the agile methodology and learned what it is like to develop for a large technology company.

During my 10 weeks as an intern, I was tasked with developing a new feature for Capital One’s credit card application. For this project, I met with various teams to discuss the requirements for this feature, made changes to the design for consistency and developed the feature from scratch in React with Redux. As the lead developer for this feature, I created unit tests, organized code reviews and was wholly responsible for my code. Outside of my intern project, I was involved with the core of my team's work taking on stories each sprint. From these I learned about AB testing features in production, tracking interaction with the UI, and the scripts that monitor the application in production and alert the engineers if anything goes wrong. Additionally, I took the time to understand Capital One’s cloud infrastructure with Amazon Web Services and have recently received my AWS Developer Associate Certification. I’ve learned so much and feel that not only have I grown as an engineer but also that I've made significant contributions to my team at Capital One.

HackCville Agency is HackCville’s very own software engineering, web design, and data science agency that specializes in end-to-end and data-driven solutions for companies. I helped launch the Agency in the summer of 2018 and currently co-lead a team of 6 developers specializing in both pro-bono and for-profit web projects.

HackCville’s Launch Academy is a prestigious 12-week summer program that teaches students hands-on skills that they can apply during a 7-week internship at the end of the summer. As a web design student, I participated in an intense 5-week training program where I learned to use JavaScript, HTML, and CSS as well as in-depth design principles, wireframing tools, git and GitHub, and Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma, Sketch, and inVision. I also learned the basics of PHP, custom content management systems (CMS) with WordPress, and MySQL.

These skills enable me to quickly design, build, and launch beautiful and functional websites. I practiced what I learned by engaging in multiple hands-on projects built into Launch’s curriculum.
