Angular- Stock Search App
To learn Angular, I created a Stocks app for one of my masters classes. This app is developed entirely in angular, using features such as routing, components and services. The app uses the AlphaVantage stock api to search stocks, view details, and graph data using Canvas.js.

Stocks Angular app- I use a free API version so please be gentle with requests! 😀

Nestle Waters
During my internship I created a website that allowed users to request a project. Users could enter all the information needed for a deal, including the name of the project, the business sponsor and function, a description of the requested project and an optional section for extra attachments. Once the project was submitted, the project information was saved in a database table. A copy of the project request was also emailed to multiple interested parties, including the person requesting the project, the business sponsor, and a member of the Application Services team. The website included other pages, such as a status page for each requested website and a list of all requested websites. This website was created using Visual Basic for the backend, asp.net for the UI and mySQL to interact with the database.
GE Capital
During my second internship I learned alot about Agile Development and automated testing. Being able to participate in Agile development helped me tie what I had learned in school in with the real world. I attended all meetings involved, including the daily stand ups, backlog meetings, and scrum meetings. I had sessions with the Project Manager and the Scrum master to learn more about their positions. I developed test cases and the necessary documentation in support of Agile users stories. The test scripts I developed were written with a Selenium based tool called Rainbow. This tool allowed me to test different aspects of the website being developed. The first test I created was a page that created a new deal senario. I used Rainbow to enter all the necessary information, as well as doing error checking for incomplete fields.
