Experience

L3Harris - SWE Intern

At L3Harris I learned about some things that come with being part of a large team:

  • Conducting a trade study
  • Creating diagrams, models
  • Presenting to stakeholders
  • Reading lots of code
  • Peer reviews

My work at L3Harris exposed me to many new technologies and business processes, and familiarized me with working in a highly structured and standardized environment.

Working at a smaller company allowed me to have ownership of a variety of projects from start to finish:

  • Developing a website
  • Finding and fixing cybersecurity vulnerabilities

but also called for communication between departments, and frequent collaboration within IT.

Personal Projects

I've written 46,533 bytes of JavaScript on GitHub

A Progressive Web App (PWA) to teach the fundamentals of jazz improvisation. This is a passion project inspired by collaboration between me and one of my mentors in the UF jazz program. v2.0 coming soon!

A platform for synchronous competition in reflexes, memory games, etc. This was a group project for a class, and taught me a lot about collaboration and group dynamics.
