Prime Digital Academy | Full Stack Software Engineer (Student) June 2022 - December 2022:

• During my time at Prime Digital Academy, I undertook various projects that demonstrated my proficiency as a full-stack software engineer. I would like to highlight two significant projects that showcase my skills and accomplishments:
• Solo Project: Record Scratch As part of my training, I developed a captivating full-stack React application called "Record Scratch." This platform caters to music enthusiasts, empowering them to share their favorite song recommendations, including artist, album, title, and description, with other users. Additionally, users can easily search for song recommendations from their peers. This project allowed me to showcase my expertise in JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React, Redux, and Material UI.
• Client Project: Vetted Working closely with a remote team of developers, I had the opportunity to collaborate on a client project called "Vetted." Our client was struggling with manually tracking enrolled student veteran status and alumni placement using a Google spreadsheet. To address their needs, we developed Vetted, a comprehensive application that streamlined the process. Vetted enables administrators to enter student information, including veteran status and relevant documentation, while also tracking meaningful employment data. Furthermore, it provides administrators with access to graduation dates and cohort information. Throughout this project, I took charge of client communication, project management, and building the front-end components, such as the individual student page and sidebar for navigation. I utilized JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Node, and React to bring this project to life.
